FAQ
(a) MAKING AN OFFER; JUDGMENT ON AN ACCEPTED OFFER. At least 14 days before the date set for trial, a party defending against a claim may serve on an opposing party an offer to allow judgment on specified terms, with the costs then accrued.
Under the ?offer of judgment? mechanism detailed in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 68 (Rule 68), a defendant makes a settlement offer to resolve the case. If accepted, the offer is filed at the courthouse and the case ends.
At any time more than ten (10) days before the trial begins, a party defending against a claim may serve upon the adverse party an offer to allow judgment to be taken against the defending party for the money or property or to the effect specified in the offer, with costs then accrued.
If the plaintiff either (1) declines the offer; or (2) fails to respond to the offer by the deadline, then the offer is considered withdrawn. A withdrawn offer does not preclude the defendant from making a subsequent offer.
A joint, unapportioned offer of judgment is an offer that involves either multiple plaintiffs or multiple defendants (or both), issuing or receiving an offer of judgment. The general rule is that joint, unapportioned offers of judgment are invalid.
The court on motion of a defendant may grant a new trial to the defendent if required in the interests of justice. If trial was by the court without a jury the court on motion of a defendant for a new trial may vacate the judgment if entered, take additional testimony and direct the entry of a new judgment.
P. 7068. The offer of judgment is a device to encourage settlement in that a party who refuses an offer of judgment, but does not receive a final judgment more favorable than the offer, will be assessed the costs incurred by the offer or after the making of the offer.
DEFAULT JUDGMENT If the defaulting party fails to cure the default after proper notice, plaintiff may motion the court for a judgment to be entered awarding the plaintiff the relief sought in the complaint.
