FootNotes
1. The Clerk's entry of default may be set aside for "good cause," Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c), a less rigorous standard than that for setting aside a default judgment. EEOC v. Mike Smith Pontiac GMC, Inc., 896 F.2d 524, 528 (11th Cir. 1990) (citation omitted). Defendant's failure to timely answer was due to miscalculating the response date, which Defendant acted promptly to correct, such that Plaintiff will not suffer any prejudice.
