TENTATIVE RULING
RE: PLAINTIFF’S
REQUEST FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT |
||
Plaintiff Velocity Investments LLC (“Plaintiff”) requests
entry of default judgment against Defendant Jonathan Mputu in the total amount
of $28,963.19, comprising $28,460.19 in damages and $503.00 in
costs.
The Court finds that Plaintiff has
sufficiently supported its request with the submitted declarations and
evidence. However, this is an action on a promissory
note (Compl., ¶ 6, Ex. A); but Plaintiff does not appear to have included the original
of the note. In lieu of the original, Plaintiff
may also provide a declaration explaining loss or unavailability, along with a
proposed order to accept a copy in lieu of the original. (Cal. Rules of Court, rule
3.1806; Kahn v. Lasorda's Dugout, Inc. (2003) 109
Cal.App.4th 1118, 1124.)

If the foregoing defect is corrected before the hearing, the Court
will grant Plaintiff’s request and will sign the proposed judgment.
