Court abused its discretion in concluding that homeowner had waived her right to file a Section 2-1301(e) motion when she withdrew her earlier Section 2-1301(e) motion in exchange for a 75-day stay of judicial sale. Whether to grant such motion is within court's discretion, and court is to consider diligence of moving party and existence of any meritorious defenses. Court may consider a defendant's Section 2-1301(e) motion even after judicial sale has occurred. (ZENOFF and HUDSON, concurring.)
