Hearing Date:             November 22, 2024

Request for Entry of Default Judgment

 

The court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the request for entry of default judgment.

 

Plaintiff Sharif Fahim (“Plaintiff”) requests for entry of default judgment against Defendant Mark Anderson (“Defendant”) in the amount of $1,021,635, including costs and special damages.

Plaintiff’s application contains the following defect:

1.      Plaintiff has not provided sufficient evidence of damages. There are no exhibits attached to the declaration of Plaintiff showing payments to Defendant. There is also no mention or justification of the $1,000,000 requested in special damages.

 

The court therefore DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE Plaintiff’s request for entry of default judgment.

            It is so ordered.
