Plaintiff filed petition to quiet title against Defendants. Court properly granted summary judgment for Plaintiff. Defendants failed to strictly comply with Section 12-101 of Code of Civil Procedure, as their 9/16/04 memorandum of judgment inaccurately stated that a default judgment was entered in their favor on 8/6/03, when actually the default judgment in favor of both Defendants became final on 3/29/04. The 9/16/04 memorandum of judgment was defective as it could not put prospective purchasers on notice that, at that time, the default judgment was nonfinal and entered only in favor of one Defendant. Defendants' 2/28/06 memorandum of judgment incorrectly identifies the amount of the default judgment,a nd thus Defendant failed to strictly comply with Section 12-101. (CARTER and HOLDRIDGE, concurring.)
