Judge: Armen Tamzarian, Case: 24STCV05171, Date: 2024-09-09 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 24STCV05171    Hearing Date: September 9, 2024    Dept: 52

Order to Show Cause Re: Default Judgment

Plaintiff 6611-6637 Hollywood (LA) OZ Owner, LLC filed a complaint against defendant M.D.F. International, Inc.  On May 9, 2024, the clerk entered the default of defendant M.D.F. International, Inc.  Despite that default, defendant served and filed an answer on June 4, 2024.  The clerk should have rejected the answer.  Because defendant filed (and the clerk accepted) an answer less than a month after defendant’s default was entered, defendant has a substantial probability of obtaining relief from its default.      

Plaintiff is ordered to meet and confer with defendant regarding stipulating to relief from default within 15 days.  The order to show cause re: default judgment is hereby continued to December 2, 2024, at 8:30 a.m.
