DEFAULTS - SECTION 'C'
Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, Section 'C's docket is staggered to allow for less density in the courtroom and social distancing. Trials, Rules, Motions and Evictions are scheduled for specific times and may not allow for the immediate hearing of walk-in defaults.
To avoid undue delay in getting your default heard, if Section 'C' is the duty judge, it is recommended that you contact Section C's law clerk before coming to court to ascertain a good date and time to present for the default.
Alternatively, if your case is allotted to Section 'C' and you wish to take a default outside of Section C's duty week, we will accommodate a special setting request on our docket. In that case, please contact the law clerk to schedule your default.
