MINUTE ENTRY
The Plaintiff has filed an Application for Entry of Default and Motion for Entry of
Default Judgment against the Defendant. Plaintiff’s Application for Entry of Default against the
Defendant is not compliant with Rule 55(a)(2)(F) of the Arizona Rules of Civil Procedure.
SUPERIOR COURT OF ARIZONA

Effective January 1, 2026, this rule requires the Application for Entry of Default to include in
bold, no less than 13-point typeface font the following language, “Under the authority of Arizona
Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a)(2), an application has been filed requesting entry of default against
[insert party name]. If [insert party name] pleads or otherwise defends within 10 days after the
application is filed, default does not become effective, and the court may not enter a default
judgement against the party. The 10-day period begins the day after the application is filed with
the court, it does not include Saturdays, Sundays, or holidays, and no additional time is added for
service by mail.” The filed Application lacks this required language.
IT IS ORDERED striking the Application for Entry of Default as non-compliant.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that any entry of default entered as to the non-compliant
Application is set aside.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion for Entry of Default Judgment is denied
as moot.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED vacating the Default hearing scheduled for April 15,
2026, at 1:30 p.m.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that this matter is returned to the Judge’s division for
further proceedings
