Now she has responded in court asking the judge to deny his motion...
From Radar Online
Soulja Boy’s ex-girlfriend who sued him over an alleged assault in 2015 pleaded with the court to not give him another chance or buy his excuses for failing to participate in the case for months.
According to court documents obtained by RadarOnline.com, the rapper’s ex, who filed the case using the pseudonym Jane Doe, scoffed at his attempt to respond to the lawsuit after blowing it off for months.
Recently, Doe asked that the court to enter a default against Soulja which would then allow her to obtain a default judgment.
Soulja rushed to court weeks later claiming he was unaware of the recent developments in the case. He said he was unrepresented for a year and has been busy touring in American and overseas.
The rapper said he had been interviewing lawyers to represent him and recently hired a new attorney. Soulja denied he had been properly served notice of court hearings by Doe.
He asked that the court not enter a default and allow him to start participating in the case.
Now, Doe asked the judge to shut down the request. She said Soulja, “has knowingly and purposefully refused to comply with the copious amount of legal authority, including this Court’s own Orders, that require Defendant to actively participate in his defense and/or the discovery process.”
Doe denied Soulja’s claim he was improperly served with the legal paperwork. She said he was served at his LA home and the process server recognized Soulja due to him being a celebrity.
She added, “Defendant admits he was aware of the matter but did not bother to find new legal representation until a year after his prior counsel was relieved. Defendant burying and hiding his head in the sand to avoid his legal and Court Ordered obligations is not a basis for relief, and thus, the Motion should be denied.”
A judge has yet to rule on Soulja’s plea.
