The following excerpt is from Savarese v. Edrick Transfer & Storage, Inc., 513 F.2d 140 (9th Cir. 1975):
19 The existence of inexcusable neglect in this case makes it unlike Schwab v. Bullock's, Inc., 508 F.2d 353 (9th Cir. 1974), where this court reversed a district court's denial of a rule 60(b) motion. In that case, we held that the negligence was not inexcusable. 508 F.2d at 356. Here we think that the negligence was not excusable under rule 60(b)(1).
