The Idaho Clerk's Entry of Default is a court document that is filed by a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit when the defendant has failed to respond or otherwise appear in the case. This document is filed with the clerk of court and serves as a form of notification to the defendant that they have been found in default. The Idaho Clerk's Entry of Default is usually submitted to the court after the plaintiff has sent a demand letter to the defendant informing them of their failure to appear, and after the plaintiff has waited the required amount of time for a response. The Idaho Clerk's Entry of Default comes in two forms: Default Judgment and Default Decree. A Default Judgment is a document that states the facts of the case, as well as any relief or damages the plaintiff may be entitled to due to the defendant's failure to appear. A Default Decree is a document that serves as a formal acknowledgement by the court that the defendant has been found in default, and allows the court to enter a judgment against the defendant without their presence in the case.
