What is the test for a default judgment in a personal injury action brought by a defendant who has not appeared or defended the action?

MultiRegion, United States of America

The following excerpt is from J&j Sports Prod.S Inc v. Pollard, No. CIV S-10-1066 JAM GGH (E.D. Cal. 2011):

The court deems defaulting defendant, by his failure to appear or defend this action, to have waived any objections to the statutory source of the damages prayed for in the instant motion. The memorandum of points and authorities and affidavits filed in support of the motion for entry of default judgment support the finding that plaintiff is entitled to the relief requested. There are no policy considerations which preclude the entry of default judgment of the type requested. See Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471-1472 (9th Cir. 1986).
