DEFENDANT JERMAINE BANKSTON Motion To Vacate Judgment; is DENIED. Moving party failed to carry their burden and show mistake, surprise or excusable neglect.

D appeared in this action on August 6, 2025 and provided his address. D was served by the Court on August 25, 2025 at that address with a Notice of Trial (November 3, 2025) and Mandatory Settlement Conference (October 29, 2025). Defendant apparently left for Texas at some point prior to August 28, 2025 "obligation" and claims to have checked his mail on November 18, 2025. Failure to check mail from August to November at the address provided in a litigation does not constitute excusable neglect.

It also appears that Defendant has knowledge of October 29, 2025 hearing. Notification of this hearing was included in the same document that notified the parties of November 3, 2025 trial.

Late-filed opposition is stricken. Declaration of Ms. Lank regarding failure to calendar a deadline on her "own calendar" does not explain why Ms. Joseph filed the opposition late. =(501/CFH)
