Motion to BRING ELDER ABUSE/NEGLECT ACTION
Further, the application for relief is timely since the application was filed within 6 months of entry of default on 1-28-26 and default judgment on 2-17-26. (ROA 29, 47.)
Therefore, the request to set aside the default and default judgment is GRANTED.
Attorney Fees and Costs: Code of Civil Procedure section 473, subdivision (c)(1) states: “Whenever the court grants relief from a default, default judgment, or dismissal based on any of the provisions of this section, the court may do any of the following: [¶] (A) Impose a penalty of no greater than one thousand dollars ($1,000) upon an offending attorney or party. [¶] (B) Direct that an offending attorney pay an amount no greater than one thousand dollars ($1,000) to the State Bar Client Security Fund. [¶] (C) Grant other relief as is appropriate.”
If relief from default is based on evidence other than “attorney affidavit of fault,” the court may in its discretion order the defendant to pay the costs, including attorney fees, incurred by the plaintiff in obtaining the default judgment. (Rogalski v. Nabers Cadillac (1992) 11 Cal.App.4th 816, 823; Vanderkous v. Conley (2010) 188 Cal.App.4th 111, 118-119.)
Plaintiff requests reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs to defray costs incurred by Plaintiff to obtain the default and default judgment and to defend against this Motion. Defendant is ordered to pay $1,200 in attorney fees and costs to Plaintiff.
Defendant is ordered to file and serve the proposed Answer within 10 days of the notice of this ruling.
To the extent, the parties have filed an Opposition and Reply to a Motion to Stay Enforcement of Default Judgment (ROA 56, 64), no moving papers in support of a Motion to Stay Enforcement of Default Judgment were filed with the Court.

County of Santa Barbara (2024) 102 Cal.App.5th 1303, 1308-1309 (Case Blanca) (cleaned up).) “An administrative decision is final, i.e., ripe, when the agency has exhausted its jurisdiction
