Judge: Armen Tamzarian, Case: 24STCV05287, Date: 2024-07-08 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 24STCV05287    Hearing Date: July 8, 2024    Dept: 52

Order to Show Cause Re: Default Judgment              

            Plaintiff Jefferson Enterprises LLC requests court judgment by default for possession of the premises only against defendants Newton Solutions LLC, Jefferson Solutions, LLC, and Lase Retail LLC.  The first two defendants filed a timely answer to the complaint.  The court cannot enter default judgment against them because they did not default.  They did, however, submit an unlawful detainer stipulated judgment (on form LASC CIV 293), which the court signed and entered on May 29, 2024.

Defendant Lase Retail LLC did not file an answer.  The clerk entered its default on April 16, 2024.  Plaintiff shows grounds for default judgment for possession of the premises against Lase Retail LLC.  The court will modify the proposed judgment plaintiff submitted on form UD-110 by deleting the names of defendants Newton Solutions LLC and Jefferson Solutions, LLC, who answered the complaint.  The court will then sign and enter the judgment.

Plaintiff’s request for default judgment is granted in part.  After modifying it as stated above, the court will sign the proposed judgment for possession of the premises plaintiff submitted on form UD-110.
