I did not receive notice of a hearing on a motion to dismiss and I also did not receive a copy of the judgment which allowed 45 days to amend complaint. I just found out yesterday and the 45 days has elapsed. Is there anything I can do now?
Possibly. See an attorney to see if a motion can be made to set aside the default judgment -- generally something that can only happen for good cause. You do not explain why you did not receive notice. If you have a good reason for not receiving notice (e.g., you were in the hospital in a coma), a court may set it aside.
