    How do I file a motion for default
    I discharged my attorney because he deliberately missed two deposition dates and had no real reason for this occurrence. A new date has been set and confirmed.
    I am proceeeding pro se, defense has been notified and the court has accepted the attorney discharge document submitted to them.
    Defense is refusing to communicate with me verbally and in writing and has refused to verify place and time of the deposition, which was initially ordered during a preliminary hearing.
    I know how to file motion, but would like some back up on how do I file a Motion Default.

    The defendant is seeking to take a deposition? Who is to testify at the deposition, you?

    If so, send the defendant's attorney a letter, certified mail, explaining that you don't know the time and place of the deposition and therefore will be unable to attend.

    If you are seeking to take a deposition, it is up to you to set the time and place of the deposition and to notify the defendant, through his or her attorney, of said time and place.

    What are the grounds that you believe justify a motion for default?
