Instructions for Entry of Default is a legal document that is filed by a plaintiff in a civil lawsuit when a defendant has failed to respond to the initial complaint. The document provides a court with the necessary information to enter a default judgment against the defendant and outlines the plaintiff's desired compensation. There are two types of Instructions for Entry of Default, voluntary and mandatory. Voluntary Instructions for Entry of Default are filed when the plaintiff has a good faith belief that the defendant's failure to respond to the initial complaint is not intentional or designed to delay the legal proceedings. The document outlines the damages sought by the plaintiff, all of which must be legal and supported by evidence. Mandatory Instructions for Entry of Default are filed when the defendant does not respond to the initial complaint within the allotted time frame set forth by the court. These documents provide the court with the same information as voluntary Instructions for Entry of Default, but they include a request for the court to enter a default judgment against the defendant. The court must enter the judgment unless the defendant can show that the failure to respond was unintentional.
