CURTIS v. UNIVERSAL ACCEPTANCE CORP

District of Columbia Court of Appeals.
Sep 20, 1966

PER CURIAM:

Nearly six months after judgment by default had been entered against appellant for the balance due under a promissory note, he moved to vacate the judgment. His motion was denied and he has appealed.

The grounds set forth in appellant's two affidavits could constitute a showing that his default was due to mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect, but nothing more. The trial court's Rule 60(b) requires that a motion on these grounds be filed not more than three months after judgment.

Affirmed.
