OPINION

2Per curiam

This is an appeal from an order of the district court refusing to set aside a default judgment.

It is manifest from the record that the court below abused its discretion in refusing to set aside the default and default judgment. Cipolla v. Cipolla, 85 Nev. 43, 449 P.2d 258 (1969); Adams v. Lawson, 84 Nev. 687, 448 P.2d 695 (1968). Accordingly, we reverse and remand the case for a trial on the merits.
