Default of appearance in case of non-appearance of the defendant. If the court is of the opinion that the defendant has been called in a proper manner, but has failed to appear (or to appear in the correct manner, e.g. not trough a lawyer), the court will declare the defendant to be in default of appearance.
A very important fact you should keep in mind is that California courts do impose a timeline for seeking entry of a default judgment. Specifically, a request for entry of default must be filed within 10 days following a defendant's failure to timely file and serve a responsive pleading.
