Legal Question in Civil Litigation in California

Re: Denial of motion to add defendaant to judgment

You might be able to enforce your existing judgment,

despite the fact that it doesn't have the complete name of the

defendant on it. For example, you might be able to

execute on the business' bank account if that account

is held in the name on your judgment. You also

could do an order of examination of the owners of the

business and execute on that business' receivables.

Re: Denial of motion to add defendaant to judgment

it is a little unclear what happened but you dont ask the court to add a defendant to a judgment, they can never do that. what you want to do is amend the judgment to list the true name of the defendant.

Re: Denial of motion to add defendaant to judgment

What you need to do is file an amended complaint wherein you add a doe defendant and list the corporation's name and all other names the company goes by. After that is filed you need to serve the person authorized to accept service on behalf of the corporation. You can find this out by contacting the state and asking for the corporation's registration. This should have the information that you need. If you need help filing an amended complaint or serving the corporate officer please feel free to contact my office at 888-563-8529. Good luck.
