GUNN, Presiding Judge.

The appeal raises the following points of alleged error in entering the default: (1) defendant’s answer was in the court file when judgment was entered; (2) no notice was given of the final default hearing; (3) the evidence was insufficient to establish defendant’s liability; (4) there was misconduct on the part of plaintiffs’ counsel in failing to inform the trial court that defendant’s answer had been filed.
