Description

Terrie G. Viets, plaintiff below, appeals the denial of her motion to vacate the trial courts entry of a default, default final judgment, and attorneys fees on the counterclaim of American Recruiters Enterprises, Inc. (AREI). AREI, defendant below, cross-appeals the trial courts decision to vacate dismissal of the plaintiffs complaint. The default and dismissal were entered after plaintiff failed to comply with an administrative order requiring her to declare her representation status after her attorney withdrew and after plaintiff failed to appear at a case management conference. We conclude that the dismissal, default, and default judgment were entered in violation of plaintiffs due process rights to notice and a hearing, rendering them void. We therefore reverse the denial of relief from the default, default judgment, and attorneys fee award as requested in the main appeal and affirm the trial courts vacation of the dismissal with prejudice on the cross-appeal.
