LLC Mortgage Backed Certificates Series 2005 C Trust and as trustee for CCB Libor Series

2005 C Trust, moves to set aside entry of default. Plaintiffs oppose the motion. The matter is

deemed suitable for determination without oral argument, and the January 8, 2013 hearing is

The court may set aside an entry of default for good cause shown. FED. R. CIV. P. 55(c). 

This court is satisfied that U.S. Bank’s failure to timely respond to the complaint was due to

remains to be seen whether U.S. Bank will prevail on its proposed motion to dismiss, it is

generally preferable to resolve matters on their merits.1

 Accordingly, the entry of default is

hereby set aside, and U.S. Bank is given leave to proceed with its intended motion to dismiss.

SO ORDERED.
