1200 MANAGEMENT LLC, 

 

         vs.

 

JACKIE BUNAO, et al.

 Case No.:  23STCV19826

 

 

 

 

 Hearing Date:  November 20, 2023

 

The Court denies Plaintiff’s default judgment packet. 

The Court sets a hearing on an order to show cause why the complaint should not be dismissed and/or Plaintiff’s counsel sanctioned $250 for failing to enter default judgment (California Rule of Court, rule 3.110(h)) on December 20, 2023, at 8:30 AM in Department 71 at Stanley Mosk Courthouse for the following reasons:

1.    Plaintiff requests interest separate from daily damages that appear to be an uncalculated value for unpaid interest. The daily damages are not included in the total amount of judgment to be entered.

 

It appears Plaintiff seeks interest on the past due rent on as of May 31, 2021, in the amount of $2,759.17 for unpaid rent beginning in April 2020.  Plaintiff appears to also seek interest from and after June 1, 2021, at the daily rate of $12.85, but does not indicate the total interest sought from this daily calculation. Plaintiff must clarify the actual amount of interest sought and provide a formula with a calculation of the values demonstrating how Plaintiff determined that amount (i.e. ([principal value x .1]/365) x number of days).
