Case Number: 24STCV19698    Hearing Date: December 11, 2024    Dept: 52

Non-Appearance Case Review Re: Default Judgment

Plaintiff RESQ HR, LLC requested clerk’s judgment by default against defendant Apex HR Solutions, LLC.  Plaintiff’s application establishes it is entitled to default judgment. 

Plaintiff did not, however, request dismissal of defendants Does 1-10.  A request for default judgment must include “[a] dismissal of all parties against whom judgment is not sought or an application for separate judgment against specified parties under Code of Civil Procedure section 579, supported by a showing of grounds for each judgment.”  (Cal. Rules of Court, rule 3.1800(a)(7).)  Plaintiff does not seek default judgment against the Doe defendants.  They therefore must be dismissed.  The court hereby dismisses defendants Does 1-10 without prejudice.   

Plaintiff’s request for default judgment is granted.  The court hereby directs the clerk to sign and enter clerk’s judgment on the form JUD-100 plaintiff submitted on November 12, 2024.
