QUESTION
Can I respond with civil answer after 30 days?
Asked on Mar 28th, 2017 on Civil Litigation - California
More details to this question:
I have a civil court case in San Diego (Central) in April (precisely a month from now) and it was originally filed in November last year. The plaintiff died 7 days later so I didn't file anything but his girlfriend managed to get a motion the week after the civil case management conference next month to continue in his stead. Do I have to file an answer or can I just show up to court? If I do, which is what it seems to be... can I still respond?

Yes, you must still file an answer. You may need leave of court or a stipulation from the plaintiff. Just showing up at the hearing is not enough.
