For those unfamiliar with legal terms:

  • an entry of default is required to be recorded by the court clerk before motion for default judgment can be sought
  • “pluries” appears to be a term related to filing of ineffective writs – I’m not really sure what this means with respect to proceedings
  • although not explicitly clarified, it’s assumed proceedings that have been voluntarily dismissed have been settled
