In sum, the Court concludes that Defendant Harris was well aware of the seriousness of this action but nonetheless waited nearly five months after the Clerk entered default against him to respond to the Complaint. Defendant has offered no explanation for this lengthy delay. The Court, having considered the grounds for setting aside the default raised by Defendant Harris and having considered the factors addressed in the Compania decision, concludes that Defendant Harris has failed to establish that good cause exists for setting aside the entry of default in this case. Accordingly, the Court hereby DENIES the motion to set aside the default.
