Civil Procedure
Default judgment; motions to reopen; excusable neglect

Paul Smith appeals the order denying his motion to reopen the case, in which a default judgment for replevin of his vehicle had been entered. He argues that his failure to appear at the initial hearing was caused by excusable neglect and, if the case were reopened, he would prevail. We affirm the circuit court’s decision.

This opinion will not be published.
