Court Trial: Unlawful Detainer
Defendant has not met his burden of showing that his failure to file a timely response in this action to prevent the entry of default and default judgment in April 2026 was due to his “mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect.” (See Code Civ. Proc., § 473, subd. (b).) The Court further notes that the clerk’s judgment by default entered on April 17, 2026, was for possession of the premises only and did not include an award of money damages.
