Legal Question in Civil Litigation in Nebraska
Default Judgements
What is the procedure for filing an entry of motion for default judgement? What are the steps? What documents are needed to be filed with the clerk of court? How longafter a defendant fails to appear is he/she in default?

Re: Default Judgements
Defendant is in default if they do not respond within thirty days. They then have 15 days to open default, i.e. file a response. You can move for default judgment if they don't respond properly after the 45 days.
You would need to file a motion for default judgment, accompanying brief, and a proposed order granting the motion.
If you would like to discuss any issues further, please feel free to contact my office. My contact information is below. Thank you.
