When a person (the plaintiff) sues someone (the defendant), the defendant gets a certain amount of time to respond to the lawsuit (times vary by state). If the defendant does not respond to the lawsuit within the time period prescribed or does not show up to court on the day he or she is supposed to, the plaintiff will ask for (and the court will usually give) a default judgment. Simply put, the plaintiff wins because the defendant did not make an effort to defend themselves. A request for entry of default is when the time has passed for the defendant to respond to a lawsuit and the plaintiff is asking for a default judgment. This only applies to civil cases, not criminal cases.

If the defendant fails to appear in a civil court lawsuit, the plaintiff can motion the court for what is known as a default judgement. In laymen terms, they win. If the defendant shows up but the plaintiff did not, they can motion to have the case dismissed with prejudice. This means that the person who sued them cannot bring the same matter back to the courts again.

Once this happens, that person is legally bound to either give over the requested evidence or show up for depositions as a witness or show up in court.
