Re: Defendant fails to respond to filed complaint
Assuming the defendant was properly served and they haven't filed an answer within 30 days of service, you can file the proper paperwork to request that a default judgment be entered. There is a process that has to be followed to do this. If you are not represented by an attorney, you'll need to do a little research to do this correctly.
