Civil Procedure
Default judgment; excusable neglect
Virginia F. Pratt appeals a default judgment of foreclosure. She contends that the circuit court erred when it expected her to demonstrate excusable neglect—which would have allowed her to file a late answer—without first evaluating the sufficiency of the complaint against her. We conclude the circuit court did not err, and we affirm. This opinion will not be published.
