[TENTATIVE] ORDER DENYING REQUEST FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT




The complaint alleges claims for slander and slander per se arising from statements allegedly made by Defendant in the course of a prior proceeding for a domestic violence restraining order alleged as Case No. 22CMRO00933. (
Complaint, ¶ 7
.) The Clerk entered default against Defendant on February 28, 2023. Plaintiff now seeks judgment of $35,000.


The court last reviewed Plaintiffs request for court judgment filed on February 21, 2023, and rejected the request for Plaintiff to submit a completed request. Plaintiff filed a request for court judgment on February 1, 2024, and a proposed order.


A defendants failure to answer a complaint admits all matters well pleaded in the complaint. (
