Rule 5.705 - Default judgments(a) Unless the court requests the presentation of oral testimony, an application for a judgment by default must be made upon the personal affidavit of the party seeking default, on personal knowledge, setting forth facts that would be admissible in evidence, showing that the affiant is competent to testify to those matters, and avoiding general conclusions or argument. A deficient affidavit may be stricken, wholly or in part, and the court may decline to consider the application for the default judgment. An affidavit may be accompanied by documentary evidence in support of the judgment sought.(b) Unless otherwise provided by other rule, statute, or court order or direction, a request for entry of judgment by default, with any supporting affidavits and documentation, shall be placed on the court's chamber calendar for resolution.Amended effective 6/10/2022.
