    Holding that an administrative failure to record a deadline was excusable neglect

    Thus, under Florida law, the district court did not have personal jurisdiction over Blue Cross. Walter argues that this case cannot be distinguished fromSpringer v. Blue Cross Blue Shield of Florida, Inc., 695 So.2d 944 (Fla.Dist.Ct.App. 1997), a case in which Florida courts were held to have personal jurisdiction over an out-of-state insurer who had accepted premiums and paid claims in Florida for ten years. But that is not all the insurer inSpringer had done; it had also issued the insured an amended policy after she moved to Florida.
