The chief judge of the Middle District of Pennsylvania has set aside a default judgment that had been entered against MetLife, but also imposed sanctions on the insurance company and admonished it for its delinquency in handling the case.

Conner of the Middle District of Pennsylvania. Between November 2013 and September 2014, Davis served at least 17 notices of filings with the company, according to the opinion.
