In accordance with Rule 55(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, the Court may “set aside 

an entry of default for good cause.” Id. “To determine „good cause‟, a court must „consider[ ] three 

factors: (1) whether [the party seeking to set aside the default] engaged in culpable conduct that led to 

the default; (2) whether [it] had [no] meritorious defense; or (3) whether reopening the default 

judgment would prejudice’ the other party.” (Emphasis Added.) United States of America v. Signed 

Personal Check No. 730 of Yubran S. Mesle, 615 F.3d 1085,1092 (9th Cir. 2010) (quoting Franchise 

Holding II, LLC v. Huntington Rests. Grp., Inc., 375 F.3d 922, 925-26 (9th Cir. 2004).)

Here, Defendant has: 1) not engaged in any culpable conduct; 2) Defendant has a meritorious 

defense to this action as set forth in the proposed Answer attached hereto as Exhibit A; and 3) reopening 

the default will not prejudice Plaintiff because this Stipulation to Set Aside is brought within a 

reasonable time, and all named parties agree to this Stipulation and [Proposed] Order to Set Aside 

Default. Therefore, setting aside the default in this matter would not be improper. 

Defendant further acknowledges and stipulates to the dates set forth in the Scheduling Order of 

the above-entitled Court that was entered on May 4, 2016 (Doc. 16). 

In the event that the Court grants this Stipulation to Set Aside Default (“Stipulation”), Defendant 

will file its Answer. The [Proposed] Answer is attached hereto as Exhibit “A” and made a part hereof. 

Counterparts: The execution of this Stipulation may be executed in counterparts and by facsimile 

or electronic signatures which shall be deemed the original signature for all purposes.

IT IS SO STIPULATED.
