If a motion for default is granted, it means that the court has determined that the opposing party has failed to respond or take action within the required time frame.
Depending on whether your pleading was verified, or not, this can be as quick as a few days in cases where the clerk can enter default, or as long as a few weeks in the event a hearing is necessary in order to secure a default judgment.
For example, lets say Annie files a lawsuit against Bridget. Bridget appears in court to argue her side of the case, but Annie forgets to go to court. The judge enters a default judgment against Annie and dismisses the lawsuit because Annie did not show up in court.
