1Opinion of the CourtChief Justice Turnage
Default judgment was entered against Alden Rice in the Sixteenth Judicial District, Garfield County, on March 22,1984. Rice moved to vacate the judgment on March 30, 1984. Following hearing on April 18, 1984, the judge denied the motion to vacate and ordered another hearing on the amount of damages. At the damages hearing on August 14,1984, the court renewed the $40,000 judgment. Rice appeals. Neal and Flora Paxson, the parties obtaining judgment, challenge this Court’s jurisdiction on the grounds that this appeal is untimely. We hold that the appeal is timely and affirm the District Court.
