Description
KALODNER, Circuit Judge. In this diversity action for damages, allegedly incurred in an automobile accident, a default was entered against the defendant-appellant Louis W. Lederer for failure to answer or otherwise plead to the plaintiffs-appellees' complaint within 20 days after its service. The district court subsequently orally denied the defendant's motion to set aside the default and forthwith proceeded to a non-jury trial on the issue of damages only.1 Thereafter, the district court filed a ""Memorandum"" in which it grounded its denial of the motion to set aside the entry of default on ""gross,' or 'inexcusable"" negligent failure to answer the complaint. 64 F.R.D. 403, 406 (E.D. Pa. 1974). The Memorandum was accompanied by an Order denying defendant's motion.
