Plaintiffs,

v.

BAY AREA BALANCING AND 

CLEANROOMS, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No. 14-cv-01739-HSG 

ORDER DENYING REQUEST TO SET 

ASIDE ENTRY OF DEFAULT

Re: ECF No. 33

On February 17, 2015, the parties filed a joint stipulation and proposed order to set aside 

the clerk’s entry of default in this case. The parties propose that Bay Area Balancing and 

Cleanrooms, Inc. answer or otherwise respond to the complaint within 30 days of the requested 

order setting aside the entry of default. 

Under Rule 55 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, a court may set aside an entry of 

default upon a showing of “good cause.” Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c). The parties have not attempted to 

satisfy the “good cause” requirement here. Accordingly, the parties’ requested relief is DENIED. 

If the parties renew their request to set aside the default, they must provide a sufficient basis for 

the Court to conclude that “good cause” supports the request, as required by Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 55. See Brandt v. Amer. Bankers Ins., 653 F.3d 1108, 1111 (9th Cir. 2011) (listing 

three factors considered in determining whether “good cause” exists under Rule 55(c)).

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 18, 2015
