Small claims 25SC30722: RecklessBen's default judgment denied for improper service

Moderate

In Marion County, Oregon small claims case 25SC30722 (Benjamin Schneider v. L2 Bricks, LLC), the plaintiff's proposed default judgment of $10,104 ($10,000 award + $104 costs) was DENIED by Pro Tem Judge Michael Wu and struck through, with the note: "Denied. Proof of service to someone called caledonia without any information as to their authority to accept service on behalf of defendant LLC." The sued entity's assumed-name registration ('Bricks and Minifigs Store 36,' registrant L2 Bricks, LLC) had lapsed for failure to renew in 2018 and was not the store's 2023-2025 operator. The case is Closed (per counter-analysis, dismissed April 7). This is the documented court record behind the dispute over whether RecklessBen 'won' the small-claims cases shown in his video — the record shows the default was denied, not granted.
