Plaintiff Central Sak LLC (“Plaintiff”)
filed this unlawful detainer action against defendants Toasted Bun, Inc. (“Toasted
Bun”) and Socorro Maria Garcia (“Garcia”) (collectively, “Defendants”) on June
20, 2024. Plaintiff seeks a default judgment against Defendants in the amount
of $136,746.74, which includes $59,520.16 as demanded in the Complaint,
$68,666.40 in holdover rent calculated from July 1, 2024, to September 18,
2024, $778.99 in costs, and $7,781,19 in attorney fees.
Plaintiff’s request for attorneys’ fees
exceeds the amount provided by Local Rule 3.214 and Plaintiff provides no basis
for deviating from that fee schedule. The Court is willing to enter a judgment
with a reduced attorney fee award of $3,171.87. If this is acceptable to
Plaintiff, Plaintiff is ordered to submit a revised proposed judgment. Otherwise,
Plaintiff must submit briefing substantiating the requested amount of
attorney’s fees as “reasonably incurred.”
The hearing on the default prove-up is
continued to _________ at 8:30 a.m. in Department 3. Revised forms and/or
supplemental briefing must be submitted no later than 5 court days before the
hearing date.
