P1111 A court that enters default judgment loses further jurisdiction over the matter; a proceeding brought in another court to enforce the judgment is a new proceeding over which the court in which it is brought has jurisdiction; a default judgment that is void because it awarded greater damages than were requested in the complaint can be attacked at any time; an action for attorney malpractice is not a personal injury or wrongful death action, so a default judgment cannot be based on a separate statement of damages served before the prove-up hearing.CitationLEVINE v SMITH (Different Court) 145 CA4 1131 [See: CCP 580, 704.750, 473, 425.11; Geddes v Superior Court 126 CA4 417, P/AT 3/05; Rochin v Johnson 67 CA4 1228, T/AT 1/99; Electronic v Murphy 134 CA4 1161, P/AT 1/06]
