Under certain circumstances a party may file a Motion to Vacate Default Judgment. If a motion to do so is made within six months of the entry of default or dismissal. And if the default or dismissal was the result of the party's mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect, or because the court has assumed jurisdiction of the law practice of the party's attorney (California Code of Civil Procedure 473(b), 473.1); Or up to two years after entry of a default judgment where service of the original summons did not result in actual notice to a defendant in time to defend, or, if the defendant received written notice of the default judgment, within 180 days thereafter. In either case, the defendant must show that the lack of notice was not caused by the defendant's deliberate avoidance of service or inexcusable neglect (California Code of Civil Procedure 473.5). Generally, if you cannot actually claim one the above stated grounds than your motion will not be considered by the court.
