Rios v. Singh
Annotate this CaseRaghvendra “Raj” Singh, representing himself, appealed a default judgment entered in favor of John Rios, Jr., and against Singh and other defendants and the orders denying Singh’s motions to set aside the default. Singh contended on appeal: (1) the trial court lacked personal jurisdiction because Rios did not properly serve the summons and complaint; (2) default was improperly entered because defendants filed an answer or reply; (3) the trial court erred in denying him relief under Code of Civil Procedure section 473.5; (4) the trial court erred in awarding Rios damages where the complaint did not state the amount of damages; (5) Rios’s counsel should have disclosed to Singh during their communications that Rios had filed documents in support of a request for entry of judgment; and (6) there were a number of defenses to the complaint. After review, the Court of Appeal found no reversible error and affirmed the trial court.
