7055-1(a):  Adversary Proceedings: DEFAULT: Request for Clerk to Enter Default

LBR 7055-1(a) provides the procedure to follow in an adversary proceeding when a defendant has not filed an answer to a complaint and the plaintiff wishes to request entry of default against that defendant.

• A request must be filed along with a supporting declaration -- the court provides a mandatory form request.  See link below.
• A hearing is not required, but the plaintiff must file a Notice of Motion Without a Hearing under LBR 9013-1(p).  See link below.
• The clerk reviews the request and files either a Notice that the Clerk has Entered Default, or, if there is a mistake in the request, the clerk files a Notice that the Clerk Has Not Entered Default.
