What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? Las Vegas, Nevada
This is small claims action and there's 3 defendants:
2 defendants never responded and I'm in the stages of filing the last form for order of default judgment against them. The other defendant filed a motion to dismiss and there will be a hearing in 5 weeks.
If I get a default judgment against the two defendants for the full amount of the claim (which happens to be the limit of small claims for my jurisdiction, $7,500), do I lose the ability to pursue the 3rd defendant in any court?
Ideally I'd like to get the full claim from these 2 defendants, and then withdraw the case against the 3rd one who filed a motion to dismiss, and refile against him in District Court. Can I do this if I get $7,500 from the other 2 Ds?
