Synopsis
The court denied the tenant's motion to vacate a default judgment in a nonpayment case. The tenant failed to provide a reasonable excuse for not appearing in court after answering the petition. Additionally, the court disapproved of the more than two-month delay by the tenant's counsel in moving to vacate the default judgment, which was filed only after an eviction notice was issued. Consequently, the judgment and warrant remained in effect.
