SECURITY NATIONAL INSURANCE COMPANY,

                        Plaintiff,

            vs.

KEON KHATIBI, a natural person and dba SOLTER PLASTICS, et al.,

                        Defendants.

Case No.:

Hearing Date:

Hearing Time:

10:00 a.m.

[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: 

 

PLAINTIFF’S REQUEST FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

 

           

Plaintiff Security National Insurance Company (“Plaintiff”) requests that the Court enter default judgment against Defendants Keon Khatibi, a natural person and dba Solter Plastics; Solter Plastics Inc.; and Solter Plastics Inc. [Entity No. 5169287]. Plaintiff seeks judgment in the total amount of $46,830.37, comprising $32,419.44 in damages, $13,650.93 in interest, and $760.00 in costs.

The Court notes that Plaintiff seeks interest from April 30, 2019 through July 17, 2023. (Walton Decl., ¶ 16.) Plaintiff asserts that judgment was entered in the underlying matter Security National Insurance Company v. Solter Plastics Inc., Los Angeles County Superior Court, Case No. 18CHLC28924 on April 30, 2019.  (Walton Decl., ¶ 6, Ex. A.) However, the Clerk’s Judgment attached as Exhibit “A” to Mr. Walton’s declaration appears to indicate that the Judgment was entered by the Clerk on May 1, 2019. (Ibid.) Thus, it appears that the requested interest should be calculated from May 1, 2019, not April 30, 2019.

Plaintiff may file a revised Form CIV-100 and Form JUD-100 prior to the hearing. If the above-referenced defect is corrected before the hearing, the Court will grant Plaintiff’s request.
