Alonso v. Haros CA4/1
Sergio A. Haros appeals from a trial court order denying a motion to set aside a default judgment in the amount of $566,600 in favor of plaintiff Juan Alonso. On appeal, Haros argues that the court clerk erred in entering a default because Alonso sought entry of default on the original complaint rather than on the operative first amended complaint. Haros further contends that a subsequently entered default judgment premised on the allegedly erroneously entered default is void. In a related argument, Haros argues that the default judgment is void because the original complaint did not allege that Alonso suffered any specific amount of damages. Haros also contends that the default judgment is void because Alonso failed to serve a statement of punitive damages (Code of Civ. Pro., § 425.115) prior to the entry of the default.
