Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Virginia

setting aside default judgment pt 6

Attempted to file a motion at general district court level. Motion was received by clerk April 26, 2004, ( 2 days before the judgment expired.) On 5/17/204, I received my action back, along with a response letter explaining that, '' The judgment entered against me @ the general district court has expired on 04/28/2004. The judgment is dead & no longer enforceable@ the general district court level. Also, the attorney for the plaintiff had extended the judgment @ circuit court therefore any actions taken concerning this matter would be filed @ the circuit court, and signed by the deputy court clerk. This is the reason why I keep attempting to resolve this matter @ the circuit level. So, I ask again, knowing the information you know now, do I still need to take action in the general district court?

Re: setting aside default judgment pt 6

I would now suggest that you arrange for a consultation with an attorney to review and discuss the relevant background information concerning this situation along with all of the papers/documents that you may have

which relate to this matter.

The lawyer should be able to determine what (if anything) can be done at this point in time regarding this matter and to advise you, accordingly.
