Civil Procedure
Default judgment; excusable neglect
In these consolidated appeals, Karen and Olivier Bidard appeal from an order granting a default judgment against them and a judgment denying their motion to vacate the default judgment. The circuit court properly exercised its discretion when it declined to vacate the default judgment because the Bidards did not establish either excusable neglect for their failure to timely answer the amended complaint or extraordinary circumstances. We affirm. This opinion will not be published.
