| Aug 17, 2023 at 14:00 | comment | added | Doedigo | @ohwilleke duly noted, I had revised my question after realizing it could've been phrased or explained more effectively, though if that doesn't help, I understand. My only guess is that perhaps, default was entered as to the primary named defendant and a request for entry of default was file not long before the case name change, so perhaps that could be it? although, no dismissal has been noted. Perhaps it was just a clerical decision but who knows, it's a very strange case to say the least | |

Then, during discovery in the case, Alice discovers another deed from Bob to Alice which Bob hadn't told her about. Alice continues to be Plaintiff but Bob becomes a defendant as Alice now seeks to establish title vis-a-vis Bob too. | |
| Aug 16, 2023 at 19:25 | comment | added | Kaia | I'm curious about 9. "A party that was originally listed as a plaintiff is reclassified as a defendant, or vice versa." Do you have an example of how that would happen? | |

| Aug 16, 2023 at 10:52 | comment | added | Doedigo | I greatly appreciate the answer and the wealth of information it provides and would've proceeded to mark it as the answer if I had been asking about more general circumstances but I had hoped to find circumstances that didn't involve changes to the parties involved or changes to the names of the parties, and have realized in hindsight I should have perhaps been more emphatic of the example and explained that all parties involved were stil lthe same, just a case name change where the named primary defendant was swapped for another. I sincerely apologize for the deficiencies in my question. | |
