JERRY E. SMITH, Circuit Judge:
In this action for race discrimination under title VII, the district court entered default judgment for plaintiff Bobby Lacy in the amount of $30,000—the amount prayed for in his petition. Claiming good cause for relief, the defendant, Sitel Corporation ("Sitel"), moved to vacate judgment, which the court denied. Because such denial was an abuse of discretion, we REVERSE and REMAND for further proceedings.
