Nevada Supreme Court · Decided November 10, 1976
92 Nev. 633; 555 P.2d 1230

Evenson v. Smith

Opinion of the Court

OPINION

Per Curiam:

This is an appeal from an order of the district court refusing to set aside a default judgment.

It is manifest from the record that the court below abused its discretion in refusing to set aside the default and default judgment. Cipolla v. Cipolla, 85 Nev. 43, 449 P.2d 258 (1969); Adams v. Lawson, 84 Nev. 687, 448 P.2d 695 (1968). Accordingly, we reverse and remand the case for a trial on the merits.
