In support of a motion to set aside a default judgment, in what circumstances have courts considered this argument?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Davis v. Musler, 713 F.2d 907 (2nd Cir. 1983):

We are aware of only one case in which an analogous argument was advanced in support of a motion to set aside a default judgment. McVicker v. Donnelly, 95 F.R.D. 353 (E.D.Pa.1982). The court there held: "This confusion resulting from the time proximity and subject matter similarity of the two proceedings clearly demonstrate that defendant's failure to respond constitutes 'excusable neglect.' " Id. at 355.
