Case Number: 23STCV31356    Hearing Date: June 4, 2024    Dept: 56

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - CENTRAL DISTRICT

            Plaintiff seeks default judgment against Defendants Abdul Oil Corporation and Abdul Wahab Hidayatulla. Plaintiff’s default judgment application is valid in all respects except that: Plaintiff failed to submit a signed memorandum of costs and disbursements as required by California Rules of Court, Rule 3.1800(a)(4). Plaintiff also failed to submit a signed declaration of nonmilitary status for each defendant against whom judgment is sought. (Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.1800(a)(5).) Plaintiff also did not obtain a dismissal of Does 1 through 20, inclusive, from this action. (Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.1800(a)(7).) Additionally, although seeking various penalties and damages, including emotional distress damages, Plaintiff has not presented any exhibits in support of his default judgment application to substantiate such damages and penalties. (Cal. Rules of Court, Rule 3.1800(a)(8).) Plaintiff has therefore not sufficiently substantiated his claimed damages in support of the default judgment application.

Plaintiff’s default judgment application is therefore DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE.
