The following excerpt is from Laroque v. Qantas Airways, Ltd., 900 F.2d 263 (9th Cir. 1990):
We review the district court's decision to set aside the default judgment for abuse of discretion. Falk v. Allen, 739 F.2d 461, 462 (9th Cir.1984). A decision to set aside a default is not an abuse of discretion unless the court is "clearly wrong" in its determination of good cause. Mendoza v. Wight Vineyard Management, 783 F.2d 941, 945 (9th Cir.1986).
