FAQ
A defendant can challenge the entry of default by filing a motion pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(c), which allows the court to set it aside for “good cause” shown. Under certain circumstances, the court is required to do so.
Fill in case information: Enter the case number, court name, and the names of the parties involved. Provide the plaintiff's details and address (Clio Draft can help autofill case info). Declare default: Check the appropriate box indicating that the defendant has failed to respond.
Once the judgment is set aside, the case starts up again. If you do not file an answer with the court to defend against plaintiff's complaint, you could again be defaulted and another default judgment could be entered against you.
If a Default Judgment Is Entered, Act Fast If a default judgment has been entered against you, you must act quickly to open the judgment, generally within ten (10) days of its entry, or establish a defect on the face of the record to warrant a Court striking the judgment.
When a court renders a decision of another court to be invalid, that verdict or decision is set aside; see also annul or vacate. The phrase is often used in the context of appeals, when an appellate court invalidates the judgment of a lower court. For example, in Eckenrode v.
If you do not think the default judgment was appropriately entered against you, you must file a motion with the court asking the judge to “set aside” (void or nullify) the judgment. If the judge grants your motion, the case starts back up again.
If you don't file an Answer or you miss a court date, the party suing you will ask the court for a default judgment against you. You can ask the court to vacate (undo) the default judgment. If the judgment is vacated and the case is put back on the court's calendar and the case will continue.
