Superior Court of California

County of Los Angeles

Department 50

 

JEWELERS MUTUAL INSURANCE COMPANY,

                        Plaintiff,

            vs.

R PURNELL JEWELERS, et al.,

                        Defendants.

Case No.:

23STCV30720

Hearing Date:

July 15, 2024

Hearing Time:

10:00 a.m.

[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: 

 

PLAINTIFF’S REQUESTS FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

 

           

Plaintiff Jewelers Mutual Insurance Company (“Plaintiff”) requests entry of default judgment against Defendants R Purnell Jewelers, Richard Joseph Purnell, and Valerie M. Purnell (collectively, “Defendants”). Plaintiff seeks judgment against each of the Defendants in the total amount of $24,775.77, comprising $24,102.32 in damages and $673.45 in costs.

The Court notes a few defects with the requests for default judgment.

First, no proposed judgment (Form JUD-100) was submitted with any of the requests. Pursuant to ¿California Rules of Court, rule 3.1800, subd¿. (a)(6), the request must include “¿[a] proposed form of judgment.¿

Second, the requests for court judgment (Forms CIV-100) pertaining to R Purnell Jewelers and Richard Joseph Purnell do not appear to have been filed. Rather, these documents show that they were “electronically received” on March 1, 2024.

Based on the foregoing, the Court denies Plaintiff’s requests for default judgment without prejudice. The Court will discuss further proceedings with Plaintiff at the hearing.
