Andrew Cochran v. Cristobal Linares-Gonzalez

Request for Court Judgment against Defendant Cristobal Linares-Gonzalez


Tentative: The Court is CONTINUING the matter to allow Plaintiffs to correct the following issues:

1)     Plaintiff must file a request for default judgment on form CIV-100. Plaintiff may file one CIV-100 as to both plaintiffs.

2)     Damages not proved. Declaration of Plaintiffs and supporting evidence is sufficient to prove special damages (medical), but general damages of approximately $1 million are excessive in light of the amount in special damages. To the extent Plaintiffs seek $30,000 for property damage, there is no supporting evidence that this amount has been incurred.

Statement of Damages served on Defendant must be filed with the Court
