Order to Show Cause Re: Entry of Default Judgment

Plaintiff Orange Grove Village II Homeowners Association requests court judgment by default against defendant Nina R. Chomsky.  Plaintiff seeks judgment including a permanent injunction, declaratory relief, costs of suit, and attorney fees.  Plaintiff’s application meets all requirements for default judgment. 

At the prior hearing on March 12, 2024, the court found plaintiff’s proposed default judgment was overly broad and not sufficiently clear.  On March 29, 2024, plaintiff submitted a revised proposed judgment.  The new proposed judgment corrects the problems the court identified.  It is properly tailored to the allegations in the complaint and is sufficiently clear to be enforced as a permanent injunction. 

Plaintiff Orange Grove Village II Homeowners Association’s request for court judgment by default is granted.  The court will sign and enter the revised proposed judgment plaintiff submitted on March 29, 2024.
