UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARGARET A. MCKENNA, 

individually and on behalf of all others 

similarly situated,

Plaintiff,

v.

MONARCH RECOVERY 

MANAGEMENT, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No.: 17cv223 JM (BLM)

ORDER GRANTING JOINT 

MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT

On April 18, 2017, Plaintiff Margaret McKenna and Defendant Monarch Recovery 

Management, Inc. (“MRM”) filed a joint motion, (Doc. No. 10), to set aside the Clerk’s 

entry of default against MRM, (Doc. No. 9). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c) 

provides that a “court may set aside an entry of default for good cause.” To determine 

whether good cause exists, the court considers: (1) whether the party against whom 

default was entered “engaged in culpable conduct that led to the default”; (2) whether that 

party had a meritorious defense; or (3) “whether reopening the default judgment would 

prejudice the other party.” United States v. Signed Pers. Check No. 730 of Yubran S. 

Mesle, 615 F.3d 1085, 1091 (9th Cir. 2010).

Here, the parties agree that MRM did not engage in culpable conduct that led to the

default and that Plaintiff would not be prejudiced by setting aside the default. 

Accordingly, the court finds that good cause exists and sets aside the Clerk’s entry of 

default.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
