Motions can always be considered. A motion to enter judgment will be granted against a party in default or a party whose pleading has been stricken for failure to provide answers to discovery. A motion for summary judgment is in order even in the absence of a prior ruling. A motion for confession of judgment may also be appropriate under the rules of court if a contract so provides and the notice required by the NJ rules is given. A motion for judgment will also be granted as a matter of routine if the application is to docket a judgment entered in another State. Those are the most common situations where a motion for judgment is proper in the absence of a prior finding against a party by the court hearing the motion. Motions that are unopposed are routinely granted if the moving papers meet the requirements of the statutes and rules of court.
