- holding that setting aside a default judgment was reversible error because a four-month delay between the time All American found out about the default judgment and the motion to vacate was not an exercise of due diligence that precluded the granting of a motion to vacate
- reversing and remanding to reinstate the default final judgment, finding no competent substantial evidence in the record of some exceptional circumstances explaining the delay
- finding a four- month delay in moving to vacate a default judgment precluded the granting of a motion to vacate
- finding a four- month delay in moving to vacate a default judgment precluded the granting of a motion to vacate
