A Louisiana Motion for Default is a legal document that is filed in the state of Louisiana when a defendant has failed to answer a complaint or appears to be ignoring a lawsuit. It requests that the court enter a judgment in favor of the plaintiff. The motion is typically filed when the defendant has failed to answer the complaint within the timeframe required by law. There are two types of Louisiana Motions for Default. The first is a Motion for Default Judgment, which is filed when the defendant has failed to answer the complaint within the required time period. This motion requests that the court enter a judgment in favor of the plaintiff without having to go through a trial. The second type of motion is a Motion for Default Pro Confess. This motion is filed when the defendant has failed to answer or appear in court, and the plaintiff is seeking a default judgment without the need for further proceedings. In both cases, the motion must include certain information in order to be considered by the court. The motion must state the legal basis for the request, the facts of the case, and any other relevant information that the court should consider. The motion must also be served to the defendant, either in person or by mail, depending on the local court rules.
