Court of Appeals for the Seventh Circuit April 18, 1983, No. 82-2062 (United States v. Forty-Eight Thousand, Five Hundred Ninety-Five Dollars)

PELL, Circuit Judge.

John Weed appeals from the district court’s denial of his Rule 60(b) motion, Fed. R.Civ.P. 60(b), seeking to vacate a default judgment entered against him, pursuant to which he was ordered to forfeit $48,595.00 and 42,730 deutsche marks. The issue on appeal is whether the district judge abused his discretion in refusing to vacate the default judgment.
