Centralia Mining Co., Defendant Below, Appellant v. Deneen Crawford, Plaintiff Below, Appellee, and Family Dollar…

Summary

The court affirmed the denial of Crossroads's motion to vacate a default judgment under Rule 60(b)(1). It held that Crossroads's failure to comply with Delaware's foreign-corporation registration and name-change requirements, rather than any unreasonable conduct by Crawford, caused the failure to receive notice and was not excusable neglect. The court therefore did not reach the remaining default-relief factors because Crossroads failed to establish a satisfactory explanation for its default.
