[PROPOSED] ORDER

This Joint Stipulation to set aside the default entered in this matter on February 2, 2007 as 

to Defendant Daniel Lee Martin, Jr., is entered into by and between Plaintiff Jamie Anne O’Neal 

(“Plaintiff”), through her attorney of record, Victoria M. Ciganda, and Defendants Daniel Lee 

Martin, Jr., and GC Services, LP (“Defendants”), through their attorney of record, Jay J. Lee, and 

is based upon the following recitals: 

WHEREAS, on or about January 9, 2007, Plaintiff effected service of process on 

Defendant Daniel Lee Martin, Jr. (“Martin”); 

WHEREAS, Defendant Martin’s answer to Plaintiff’s complaint was due to be filed with 

the District Court within 20 days of the date of service; 

WHEREAS, Jay J. Lee, the attorney representing Defendant Martin, erroneously and 

inadvertently calendared the last day to respond to Plaintiff’s complaint as being 30 days from the 

date of service; 

WHEREAS, Defendant Martin, due to the excusable mistake of his counsel Jay J. Lee, 

failed to file an answer to Plaintiff’s complaint by January 29, 2007 – the 20th day following the 

date of service of the summons and complaint; 

WHEREAS, on or about February 2, 2007, the Plaintiff filed a request for entry of default 

as to Defendant Martin; 

WHEREAS, on or about February 2, 2007, the Court Clerk entered a default against 

Defendant Martin; 

WHEREAS, on or about February 5, 2007, Jay J. Lee telephoned Victoria M. Ciganda, 

plaintiff’s counsel, to explain the circumstances surrounding Defendant Martin’s failure to appear 

or otherwise respond to Plaintiff’s complaint – namely Jay J. Lee’s erroneous and inadvertent 

calendaring mistake – and to request that the parties stipulate to set aside the entry of default 

resulting from Jay J. Lee’s mistake;
