The suit\u2019s petitioner, Kayla Myers, filed a suit for assault and battery, false imprisonment and sexual battery.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Arrest.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2513 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Arrest-300x190.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Arrest-300x190.png 300w, https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Arrest.png 541w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It seems that Soulja has not yet responded to the suit and therefore Myers is requesting a default judgment. She is asking the court to award her $2 million in damages plus an additional $20, 615.25.<\/p>\n<p>In California, where the suit was filed, in order to obtain a default judgement, the plaintiff must show i) the defendant was served with Summons and Complaint, ii) the time for responding has passed (30 days), iii) defendant failed to file a response, and iv) the defendant must have been served with a Statement of Damages. Obviously more than a few months have passed since the filing of the suit so Myers may have a shot at obtaining the requested default judgement if she served Soulja with a Statement of Damages.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Car.png\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-2514 aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Car-300x202.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"202\" srcset=\"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Car-300x202.png 300w, https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Car-768x516.png 768w, https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/Soulja-Boy-Car.png 863w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>Why do you think Soulja Boy hasn\u2019t responded?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In January of this year, a suit was filed against rapper Soulja Boy accusing him of being the aggressor in&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":10,"featured_media":2512,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[4,623,5],"tags":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/10"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2511"}],"version-history":[{"count":2,"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2516,"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2511\/revisions\/2516"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2511"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2511"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/askcarterlaw.com\/home\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2511"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
