The person making this motion must ask the court to sign the Order on Motion for Default (FL All Family 162) either at a hearing or at ex parte. If you must notify the other side about this motion, you may use the Notice of Hearing form (FL All Family 185) unless local rule requires a different form.
Imagine you've taken someone to court, but they've ignored all proceedings. A motion for default judgment allows you to ask the court to automatically decide in your favor due to the other party's lack of response or action.
Show cause orders instruct parties to “show cause” why the court should decide in their favor on a motion. More accurately, a show cause order instructs a party to appear at a hearing and show cause why the court should not grant a motion another party filed. Many of the most complicated motions are by show cause.
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.
Orders of default judgment (aka judgment in default) are obtained in two different ways: by using an administrative process – a Request - judgment is entered by a court officer; or. by filing an application for Judgment in Default, with a Form N244 Application Notice.
