Perkins Coie v. Viacom
In May 2010, defendant, already in default, learned that plaintiff was seeking a default judgment. Nevertheless, defendant did not move to vacate the default and default judgment until a full year later, in May 2011. The trial court granted the motion in part, modifying the original default judgment by deleting a monetary award in favor of plaintiff. We conclude that, because the original default judgment was not void and because defendant did not act with reasonable diligence, the trial court erred by modifying the judgment.
