TENTATIVE RULING

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 April 23, 2025, at 8:30 AM in Department 71 at Stanley Mosk Courthouse for the following reasons:

1.     No JUD-100 submitted to Court.

2.     Insufficient exhibits and foundation in support of breach of contract allegation.

3.     No contractual basis for attorneys’ fees sought; liquidated damages is basis for damages and contract provides that each party will bear its own costs. The contract at issue does not discuss a “prevailing party” or any relief available for a “prevailing party.”
