[TENTATIVE] ORDER RE: APPLICATION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

 

Dept. 3

8:30 a.m.

March 13, 2025

 

)

 

 

Plaintiff Britecap Financial, LLC seeks a default judgment against defendants Best Quality Delivery Services, LLC and Mario Paz. An application for a default judgment on declarations must include a request for court judgment on Judicial Council Form CIV-100 with Item 2 completed. If costs are sought, the memorandum of costs in Item 7 should be completed.

Procedurally, Plaintiff’s application is defective because no request for court judgment is on file with the Court. The two Forms CIV-100 filed on December 20, 2024, and January 9, 2025, are for requests for entry of default and Item 2 is blank on each of them. Additionally, although Plaintiff seeks $675 in costs, Item 7 on both Forms is blank and there is no memorandum of costs supporting the amount sought. (CRC 3.1800(a)(4).)

Substantively, Plaintiff’s application is missing a declaration from someone with personal knowledge substantiating the damages alleged in the Complaint. (CRC 3.1800(a)(2).)

          Accordingly, the default prove-up hearing is continued to ____________ at 8:30 a.m. in Department 3 of the Alhambra Courthouse so that Plaintiff can submit a revised default package with the correct forms and declarations. All papers must be filed no later than 5 court days before the date of the hearing.

 

Dated this 13th day of March 2025
