A motion is an application to the court made by the prosecutor or defense attorney, requesting that the court make a decision on a certain issue before the trial begins. The motion can affect the trial, courtroom, defendants, evidence, or testimony. Only judges decide the outcome of motions.
Instead of answering, the defendant may file one of the motions described in Utah Rule of Civil Procedure 12. If the judge grants the motion, the judge's order will direct the parties what to do next. If the judge denies the motion, the defendant must file an answer within 14 days after the judge's order.

Sometimes, the Judge makes a decision right away. If not, the Judge has 60 days by law to decide the motion.

You must ask the clerk of the court to enter default against the defendant before you can move for default judgment. After the clerk enters default against a defendant and you move the court to grant a default judgment, you will have to argue that you should win your case as a matter of law.
