14. S-CV-0054343 Hall, Linda Leon v. Helmer, Virgil Alan

Motion to set aside the December 15, 2025 order granting ex parte application

Defendant Virgil Alan Helmer moves to set aside the court’s December 15, 2025 order granting plaintiff’s ex parte application. Plaintiff did not file a response.

Defendant failed to file a responsive pleading in this action after service of the summons and complaint, and his default was entered on March 18, 2025. Entry of default cuts off defendant’s right to appear in this action and participate in the proceedings, unless and until the default is set aside. (Devlin v. Kearny Mesa AMC/Jeep/Renault, Inc. (1984) 155 Cal.App.3d 381, 385-386.) Even if the court could consider defendant’s motion, which it cannot in light of his default, he fails to demonstrate service. All moving papers and supporting documents shall be served and filed at least 16 court days before the hearing, with notice extended based on the manner of service. (Code Civ. Proc., §§ 1005(b), 1010.6.) Based on the foregoing, the motion is denied.
