District Court of Appeal of Florida

An order setting aside a default judgment entered against defendant in an action grounded on a promissory note is reversed where the trial court abused its discretion in setting aside the default judgment as any alleged mistake in entering the default judgment arose from a judicial error that is not correctable by way of a rule 1.540(b) motion, and defendant's speculation concerning the reason for the alleged "mistake" could not support setting aside the default judgment.
