When applying for entry of default, FRCP 55, incorporated by FRBP 7055,
states that:
"If the plaintiff's claim is for a sum certain or a sum that can be made
certain by computation, the clerkon the plaintiff's request, *with an
affidavit showing the amount due*must enter judgment for that amount and
costs" [italics mine].
Is someone willing to share a sample affidavit showing the amount due, or
explain what special language (if any) is needed for such an affidavit?
Thank you,
Kirk Brennan
