1Opinion of the Court
JACOBS, Justice:
Defendant-below Crossroads Shopping Plaza, Inc. (“Crossroads”), f/k/a Centralia Mining Co. 1 appeals from a Superior Court order denying its motion to vacate a default judgment awarding $125,000 in damages to plaintiff-below Deneen Crawford (“Crawford”). On appeal, Crossroads claims that the trial court erred because Crawford acted unreasonably in attempting to serve her complaint on Crossroads, and that as a result, Crossroads’ failure to respond to the complaint was due to excusable neglect. We find no error, and affirm.
