1 ANSWER
Greetings. It appears you would like to file a motion for default judgment. In New York, to file a motion for default, there are certain initial steps that may have to be taken, such as sending a second copy of the summons and complaint to the defendant. If these steps are not followed, the court will most likely deny the motion. The pro se offices may be able to provide information to a litigant to help them with the process. Otherwise, hiring an attorney is the next best option. Good luck.
