The court can enter a default judgment in a quiet title suit, but a prove up hearing is generally required in front of the judge. If the judgment was just entered on February 24th I would suggest that you immediately move to set aside the default judgment. If you don't bring a motion to do so soon you will most likely be stuck with it.
Thanks,Jon
