You don't need to "answer" a judgement, you just need to comply with it. If you mean that there's a motion for summary judgement and you agree with the proposed judgement, then again, just go ahead and do it.

How do I as the defendant file a response to a summary judgment notice?

You will have to file an appropriate affidavit stating the facts that are in dispute and perhaps a brief stating the legal reasons why you feel summary judgment should not be granted. A motion for summary judgment is made by a plaintiff because it contends that it is entitled to judgment as a matter of law because, even giving you all benefits of reasonable inferences and resolving all doubts about the evidence against plaintiff from disputed facts, there are no issues of material fact to support your case. In short, if you are being sued for an unpaid debt and you cannot provide facts to show that you do not owe the debt or that for some reason plaintiff is not entitled to collect, then summary judgment will be granted against you. So your obligation is to prepare an affidavit showing the specific facts that show that plaintiff is not entitled to judgment. You may have to prepare a legal brief as well, showing, if you can find any, case law that has similar facts where a summary judgment was denied. The most important thing to show is that there are factual issues that are in dispute and would have to be resolved by a jury. Procedurally, you should check the court rules for how to file the Objection to Entry of Summary Judgment. At the least, look for these things: Does the motion for summary judgment have a specific return date for argument. How many days before the return date of the motion do you have to file your papers in opposition. File as the original and as many copies as the rule require. Send a copy of the papers you file to the attorney making the motion. Go to court on the return day of the motion. Here is a tip: It is possible to challenge part of the summary judgment. For example, assume that you cannot dispute that you owe the debt and that you really have no opposition to summary judgment on the debt itself. But plaintiff will probably seek other things as well, like interest, counsel fees and costs. Challenge the computation of those figures. You might not be able to avoid summary judgment on the debt itself but you might avoid it on the other issues. Sometimes, a plaintiff will drop claims for those other things if it gets a summary judgment on the main debt. So it pays to look at each individual item that makes up the total amount of money plaintiff is seeking. Don't think that because you can't dispute the main debt, that you can't object to the other things.


What do you do after a summary judgment has been granted against you?

Recourse? What do you mean by "recourse"? Do you mean what are your options?One option is to do nothing and get a summary judgment against you by default. Not a wise move unless you have no defense to a motion for summary judgment and the moving party does not seek extreme measure from you.You should file a motion in opposition to the motion for summary judgment, putting forth the facts and the law as to why the moving party is not entitled to the granting of a motion for summary judgment.A motion for summary judgment is required to clearly show that given the undisputed facts in the case (facts you have admitted to as being true), the petitioner is entitled to a certain remedy in the form of judgment as a matter of law.So, dispute the facts necessary for them to get summary judgment and dispute the application of the law that they reference as most applicable and appropriate in your case. If you successfully dispute the facts required to get summary judgment and/or you dispute the application of the law that they reference, then their motion for summary judgment will likely fail.AnswerFortunately for you, all reasonable inferences the court must make will be decided in favor of the non-moving party (you). Keep in mind that summary judgment cannot be obtained or defeated by speculation or conjecture alone; there must be specific, concrete facts that establish the claim. If you believe that you are entitled to summary judgment, you may file a cross motion for summary judgment, which details why you are entitled to a summary judgment against the other party. In that case, you will be held to the same standard of proof as the person who is requesting summary judgment against you.
