Judge: Serena R. Murillo, Case: 21STCV33649, Date: 2023-09-26 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 21STCV33649    Hearing Date: September 26, 2023    Dept: 31

Tentative: The Court has reviewed the request for default judgment. The Court CONTINUED the matter to allow Plaintiff to file a new default packet, correcting the following issues:

(1)  Plaintiff must file a corrected request for Court judgment on CIV-100. The only request for Court judgment is dated 12/5/22 and the total requested states $27,23844.70. This should be corrected. Further item 7 states Plaintiff seeks costs in the amount of $898, which is inconsistent with the amount Plaintiff seeks in costs in item 2, i.e., $877. Moreover, it is unclear why general damages exceed the amount sought altogether.

(2)  Photocopying fees are expressly not allowed under CCP section 1033.5(b)(3).

(3)  Plaintiff must file a proposed judgment on JUD-100.

(4)  The evidence does not support the full amount sought in damages.
