[Your Name] [Your Address] [City, State, Zip Code] [Email Address] [Phone Number] [Date] [Recipient's Name] [Recipient's Address] [City, State, Zip Code] Subject: Enclosure of Clerk's Docket Entry of Default — [Case Number] Dear [Recipient's Name], I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you that a recent review of the docket in the above-mentioned case indicates that an entry of default has been entered against [Plaintiff/Defendant] due to their failure to file a timely response or appear in court as required by the rules of civil procedure. In compliance with the legal requirements, I am enclosing a certified copy of the Clerk's Docket Entry of Default for your review and further action. This document serves as irrefutable evidence of [Plaintiff/Defendant]'s non-compliance with the court's orders and provides you with the opportunity to take appropriate steps to secure your rights in this matter. Please note that according to the rules of the [Name of Court], upon entry of default, [Plaintiff/Defendant] loses their ability to contest liability for the claims asserted against them. This may lead to the court's determination of liability and the entry of a default judgment against [Plaintiff/Defendant] if necessary. To proceed with the case, you have several options available: 1. Request a Default Judgment: You may file a motion for default judgment, accompanied by appropriate evidence supporting the damages claimed. The court will review your motion, and if satisfied, may enter a default judgment in your favor. 2. Schedule a Hearing: If you prefer, you may request a hearing to present your case orally. This will provide you with an opportunity to argue for the damages sought and present any relevant evidence or witnesses in support of your claim. 3. Settlement or Negotiation: If you believe that a settlement is possible, you may attempt negotiations with [Plaintiff/Defendant] to resolve the matter outside of court. This may help avoid further litigation expenses and expedite the resolution of the case. Please be aware that you must take action promptly in order to protect your rights and interests. If no action is taken within the timeframes set forth by the court, there may be potential consequences, including dismissal of the case or the imposition of penalties. I strongly urge you to consult with legal counsel to determine the most appropriate course of action based on your specific circumstances and desired outcome. In conclusion, I have provided you with a copy of the Clerk's Docket Entry of Default for your records and the necessary steps to move forward in this case. If you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me at [Phone Number] or [Email Address]. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, [Your Name]
