Case No.: 48-2007-CA-014233 Page 2 of 3 Agreed Motion for Oral Argument
and specifically that the Court set aside Final Default Judgments against the
Defendants for Defendant SPEARS’ excusable neglect due to incapacity.
3. Plaintiffs request that the Court set a hearing for oral argument and
evidence, including testimony, required by Fl. R. Civ. P. 1.540(b) in order to permit a
full examination of the evidence and enable this Court to enter a proper judgment.
4. The Plaintiffs believe that oral argument may assist the Court with the
facts and law in the Motion and Plaintiffs’ anticipated response.
5. Default judgments may not be set aside absent evidence of excusable
neglect, due diligence, and meritorious defense. Geer v. Jacobsen, 880 So.2d 717
(Fla. 2nd DCA 2004); see also Andrade v. Andrade, 720 So.2d 551 (Fla. 4th DCA
1998)(court conducted an evidentiary hearing on the details of Appellee’s conduct).
Wherefore, Plaintiffs hereby request that this Honorable Court grant oral
argument and an evidentiary hearing for two (2) hours on the Defendants’ Verified
Motion to Set Aside Final Default Judgments and such other relief as this Court may
deem appropriate.
