Judge: Teresa A. Beaudet, Case: 22STCV34754, Date: 2025-03-21 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 22STCV34754    Hearing Date: March 21, 2025    Dept: 50

Superior Court of California 

County of Los Angeles 

Department 50 

Cross-Complainant Enigma Management Corp., a New York corporation dba Alliance Laboratories (“Cross-Complainant”) requests entry of default judgment against Cross-Defendant The Testing Company LLC in the total amount of $506,083.85, which includes $475,239.75 demanded in the Complaint, $29,620.50 in prejudgment interest, $0 in attorney fees, and $1,223.60 in costs. (See CIV-100.) Cross-Complainant filed a case summary, dismissed Roes 1-10, and filed a declaration in support of the application.

However, the Court finds that the Cross-Complainant’s application is deficient because the declaration of nonmilitary status in CIV-100 is blank. (See CIV-100, ¶8.) Additionally, the JUD-100 form is outdated as it was last revised on January 1, 2024. The appropriate JUD-100 form was revised on January 1, 2025 because the instant application was filed on January 17, 2025. Moreover, there is a discrepancy between the total amount in the JUD-100 form and the CIV-100 form.

Based on the foregoing, the court DENIES WITHOUT PREJUDICE the request for default judgment. At the hearing, the Court will discuss a new date for Plaintiff to submit a revised default judgment package.
