PLAINTIFFS MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT
Plaintiff, Darlene Rakowski (Rakowski), by and through her attorney, Larry L. Lawyer,
requests that the Court enter Default Judgment against Defendant, Montez Construction Co., Inc.
(Montez), and states as follows:
INTRODUCTION
Plaintiff Rakowski initiated this lawsuit on January 1, 2015, by filing a Complaint
seeking damages against Montez for lost wages due to the Breach of Employment Contract by
Defendant Montez and special and compensatory damages due to Intentional Infliction of
Emotional Distress by Defendant Montez. Defendant Montez allowed harassing behavior toward
Plaintiff Rakowski at the workplace, wrongfully preventing her from fully performing her
obligations of the one-year employment contract between Defendant Montez and Plaintiff
Rakowski, and further causing Plaintiff Rakowski to suffer severe mental anguish.
As of the date of this filing, Montez has failed to file any response contesting the
allegations contained in the Complaint. Consequently, entry of default judgment is appropriate.
ENTRY OF DEFAULT JUDGMENT

1. On January 2, 2015, Defendant Montez through its owner and agent, Carlos Montez, was served
a copy of the Summons, District Court Civil Cover Sheet, and Complaint. Copies of Returns of
Services were filed with the Court on January 6, 2015.
2. On January 2, 2015, this Court accepted the Summons, District Court Civil Cover Sheet, and
Complaint.
3. On February 6, 2015, Plaintiff Rakowski filed Initial Disclosures with the Court.
4. Although not required, on February 12, 2015, Plaintiff Rakowski served a copy of Plaintiffs
Initial Disclosures to Defendant Montez, as well as copies of a new Summons, Complaint, and
Civil Cover Sheet.
5. Defendant Montez has not filed any Answer or other response to the Complaint with this Court.
6. To the best of Plaintiff Rakowskis information and belief, Defendant Montez is not an infant,
incompetent person, officer or agent of the State of Colorado, and is not in the military service of
the United States nor of any nation with which the United States may be allied in the prosecution
of war; nor has Defendant Montez been ordered for induction into such military service. See
attached Affidavit in Support of Motion for Default Judgment.
7. Jurisdiction is proper before this Court in accordance with C.R.C.P. 98(c) because Defendant
Montez is incorporated in the City and County of Denver and Plaintiff Rakowski is an individual
domiciled in the City and County of Denver. See attached Affidavit of Indebtedness.
8. In accordance with C.R.C.P. 54 and 55, there is no just reason for delay and final judgment
should enter in favor of Plaintiff Rakowski and against Defendant Montez in the following
amount:
$2 million representing lost wages owed to Plaintiff Rakowski due to the breach of the
employment contract by Defendant Montez on December 31, 2014, and compensatory
and special damages. See attached Affidavit Support of Motion for Default Judgment.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff Rakowski respectfully requests entry of an Order granting final
judgment by default in her favor against Defendant Montez for $2 million, and for such other
relief as the Court may deem proper. A proposed form of Findings of Fact, Conclusions of Law,
Order, and Judgment is attached.
Dated this 27th day of April, 2015.
