activein force · 2014-04-21 – presentact-effective-date

(a) An application for a judgment by default, irrespective of the amount of the proposed judgment, must be made upon affidavit or unsworn declaration unless the court specifically requests the presentation of oral testimony. Supporting affidavits or unsworn declarations must be made on personal knowledge, not by the attorney representing the plaintiff; shall set forth such facts as would be admissible in evidence; show affirmatively that the affiant or declarant is competent to testify to the matters stated therein; and avoid mere general conclusions or argument. An affidavit or unsworn declaration substantially defective in these respects may be stricken, wholly or in part, and the court may decline to consider the application for the default judgment. The application for a judgment by default must include a verified Memorandum of Costs and Disbursements either in the body of the application or as an exhibit attached to the application.

(b) Applications for default judgments are to be submitted in a complete package and must contain the following additional documents:

(1) Default Judgment for the signature of the judge or clerk;

(2) Default (to be signed by deputy clerk); and

(3) Proof of Service of the Summons and Complaint, if not previously filed.

(4) In actions arising under NRS Chapter 604A, a declaration under penalty of perjury that the applicant has complied with the requirements of that chapter and with the requirements of Rule 51 of these rules.

(c) Any submittal of a partial default package will be considered incomplete and will be returned to the submitting party for completion.
