NOTICE OF APPLICATION FOR RECOGNITION AND ENTRY OF 
TRIBAL COURT MONEY JUDGMENT
NOTICE:  An application has been filed for this court to recognize and enter a tribal court money judgment against you. A copy of the 
application, including a copy of the tribal court money judgment, is being served with this notice. Unless you file objections with 
the superior court named above within 30 days after service of this notice, the court will enter that judgment against you. 
     Entry of Judgment. (a) If no objections are timely filed in accordance with the provisions below (and set forth in Code of Civil Procedure 
section 1737), the clerk shall certify that no objections were timely filed, and a judgment shall be entered. 
     (b) The judgment entered by the superior court shall be based on and contain the provisions and terms of the tribal court money judgment. 
The judgment shall be entered in the same manner, have the same effect, and be enforceable in the same manner as any civil judgment, 
order, or decree of a court of this state. 
     How to Object: (a) Any objection to the recognition and entry of the tribal court money judgment shall be served and filed within 30 
days of service of the notice of filing. If any objection is filed within this time period, the superior court shall set a time period for replies and 
set the matter for a hearing. The hearing shall be held by the superior court within 45 days from the date the objection is filed unless good 
cause exists for a later hearing. The only grounds for objecting to the recognition or enforcement of a tribal court money judgment are the 
grounds set forth in subdivisions (b) and (c). 
     (b) A tribal court money judgment shall not be recognized and entered if the respondent demonstrates to the superior court that at least one 
of the following occurred: (1) The tribal court did not have personal jurisdiction over the respondent. (2) The tribal court did not have 
jurisdiction over the subject matter. (3) The judgment was rendered under a judicial system that does not provide impartial tribunals or 
procedures compatible with the requirements of due process of law.  
     (c) The superior court may, in its discretion, decline to recognize and enter a tribal court money judgment on any one of the following 
grounds: (1) The defendant in the proceeding in the tribal court did not receive notice of the proceeding in sufficient time to enable the 
defendant to defend. (2) The judgment was obtained by fraud that deprived the losing party of an adequate opportunity to present its case. 
(3) The judgment or the cause of action or claim for relief on which the judgment is based is repugnant to the public policy of the state or of the 
United States. (4) The judgment conflicts with another final and conclusive judgment. (5) The proceeding in the tribal court was contrary to an 
agreement between the parties under which the dispute in question was to be determined otherwise than by proceedings in that tribal court. 
(6) In the case of jurisdiction based on personal service only, the tribal court was a seriously inconvenient forum for the trial of the action. 
(7) The judgment was rendered under circumstances that raise substantial doubt about the integrity of the rendering court with respect to the 
judgment. (8) The specific proceeding in the tribal court leading to the judgment was not compatible with the requirements of due process of 
law. (9) The judgment includes recovery for a claim of defamation, unless the court determines that the defamation law applied by the tribal 
court provided at least as much protection for freedom of speech and the press as provided by both the United States and California 
Constitutions.  
    (d) If objections have been timely filed, the applicant has the burden of establishing that the tribal court money judgment is entitled to 
recognition. If the applicant has met its burden, a party resisting recognition of the tribal court money judgment has the burden of establishing 
that a ground for nonrecognition exists pursuant to subdivisions (b) or (c).
