Default entered for absent defendant in multiple Pinellas County contractor citations
Summary
The magistrate denied a late continuance request for defendant David Simpson (multiple CLB-MG25 cases) and entered a default after the respondent failed to appear for a rescheduled hearing.
The magistrate entered default against defendant David Simpson after a requested continuance filed on short notice was denied and Simpson did not appear for the July 13 hearing.
The docket listed multiple citations (CLB-MG25-00149–00152; CT25-00040–00043) alleging unlicensed contracting, no permit and advertising violations for work at a South Pasadena address. County counsel moved for default in Simpson’s absence and the magistrate granted the motion and indicated an order would be prepared reflecting the default and associated sanctions.
The clerk recorded the default entry and noted the prior hearing had been continued from June 24; the county will prepare an order necessary for the record. Individuals who do not appear for contested administrative citations may face default orders assessing fines and costs consistent with prior notice.
