Judge: William A. Crowfoot, Case: 20BBCV00430, Date: 2023-08-18 Tentative Ruling

Case Number: 20BBCV00430    Hearing Date: October 30, 2023    Dept: 3

SUPERIOR COURT OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA

FOR THE COUNTY OF LOS ANGELES - NORTHEAST DISTRICT

On October 20, 2023, plaintiff Gisele Rosen (“Plaintiff”) filed a request for court judgment on Form CIV-100 requesting a default judgment of $162,168.84 against defendants Paramount Headquarters, Inc. and Paramount Headquarters, Inc. dba Paramount Pavers & Construction, consisting of $100,000 in damages, $525 in costs, and $61,643.84 in prejudgment interest. A supplemental declaration from Plaintiff’s counsel calculates prejudgment interest from July 1, 2017 to October 20, 2023, at a rate of 10% per annum, to be $63,068.49, which is what is written on the proposed judgment on Form JUD-100. Although the amount of prejudgment interest listed on the two forms is not identical, the Court acknowledges that counsel’s declaration includes an accurate calculation of prejudgment interest. Accordingly, the application for default judgment is GRANTED.
