Judge: Armen Tamzarian, Case: 24STCV16218, Date: 2025-02-26 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 24STCV16218    Hearing Date: February 26, 2025    Dept: 52

Order to Show Cause Re: Default Judgment

Plaintiff Anthony Bouyer brings an action against defendant MMH, LLC, who has defaulted.

California Rules of Court, rule 3.110(h) provides, “When a default is entered, the party who requested the entry of default must obtain a default judgment against the defaulting party within 45 days after the default was entered, unless the court has granted an extension of time.  The court may issue an order to show cause why sanctions should not be imposed if that party fails to obtain entry of judgment against a defaulting party or to request an extension of time to apply for a default judgment within that time.”

The clerk entered defendant MMH, LLC’s default on August 27, 2024.  On December 4, 2024, the court granted plaintiff’s request for an extension.  More than 45 days have passed.  Plaintiff has not applied for default judgment.  The court will therefore set an order to show cause re: why plaintiff should not pay $100 in sanctions under rule 3.110(h).

The court hereby sets an order to show cause re: why plaintiff should not pay $100 in sanctions under rule 3.110(h) for March 28, 2025, at 8:30 a.m.
