Re: quiet title

I am not certain what you mean by "skied up", but I'll give it a shot. Generally, if a defendant that has been properly served with a complaint fails to file a response within twenty (20) days from the date of service, the plaintiff may file his/her/its motion for default and motion for final default judgment. You will have to file the original affidavit of service showing that the complaint was served on the named defendant or its agent on a date at least twenty (20) days preceding the date of your motion in order to obtain the default, and subsequent final default judgment. Good luck.
