“If a responsive pleading is not served within the time limits specified … and no extension of time has been granted, the plaintiff must file a request for entry of default within 10 days after the time for service has elapsed.  The court may issue an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed if the plaintiff fails to timely file the request for the entry of default.”  (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.110(g).) 

Plaintiff Korea Trade Insurance Corporation, which will do business in California as K-Sure, a Korea corporation dba K-Trade fka Korea Export Insurance Corporation, filed proof of service of summons showing substituted service on defendant Triplex Textile, Inc. on September 16, 2022.  Defendant’s deadline to serve a responsive pleading therefore was October 17, 2022.  The deadline passed long ago.  Plaintiff has still not requested entry of defendant’s default.
