[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: APPLICATION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

 

Dept. 3

8:30 a.m.

)

 

 

Plaintiff Energy Sanrio Investment LLC (“Plaintiff”) requests a default judgment against defendants A1 Ent Inc. and K Music Entertainment Inc. Plaintiff states that it loaned each defendant $125,000 and that each defendant still owes him $50,000. Plaintiff approximates prejudgment interest to be “at least $20,000” at a rate of 10% per annum but does not include any explanation for how this amount was calculated. (CRC 3.1800 [requiring “[i]nterest computations as necessary” for default judgment on declarations].) Also, the proposed judgment filed on March 25, 2024, does not identify the amount each defendant is liable for or specify whether liability is joint and/or several.

The hearing is continued to June 7, 2024, at 8:30 a.m. in Department 3 of the Alhambra Courthouse. A new proposed judgment and a declaration including a computation of prejudgment interest must be submitted no later than 5 court days before the date of the hearing.

 

Dated this 2nd day of May, 2024
