What is the standard of review for a default judgment?
MultiRegion, United States of America
The following excerpt is from Speiser v. Ortiz, 271 F.3d 884 (9th Cir. 2001):
We review for an abuse of discretion the district court's decision to enter a default judgment. Haw. Carpenters' Trust Funds v. Stone, 794 F.2d 508, 511-12 (9th Cir. 1986). That standard of review "necessarily encompasses the entry of default," because entry of default alone does not constitute an appealable final order. Id.; see also Savarese v. Edrick Transfer & Storage, Inc., 513 F.2d 140, 146 (9th Cir. 1975); Madsen v. Bumb, 419 F.2d 4, 6 (9th Cir. 1969).
