My case is the Central District of California bankruptcy court. My judgment form was rejected without even going to the judge.

A:
Reasons for rejected judgments include the default judgment being rejected, judgment form(s) not being answered in their entirety, judgment form(s) not being signed properly, and missing judgments form(s).
Since the judgement never went before a judge, it sounds as if your judgment was rejected due to procedural issues as opposed to the content. Did the clerk inform you as to why the judgment was rejected? I suggest contacting the clerk and getting some insight as to why the judgment was rejected. Though they cannot give legal advice, the bankruptcy clerks of the Central District are often very helpful.
It would also be beneficial to consult with a knowledgeable attorney on the matter.
