WALSH CONSTRUCTION COMPANY, an Illinois corporation, Plaintiff, v. RMA LAND CONSTRUCTION, INC., a California corporation, Defendant.
ORDER AND JUDGMENT
The Court has before it Plaintiff Walsh Construction Company's ("Walsh") Application for Default Judgment. Plaintiff's Complaint, Summons, and all attachments thereto were served on Defendant RMA Land Construction ("RMA") and Proof of Service was filed with the Court. On October 7, 2015, the Clerk of the Court for the United States District Court for the Central District of California entered default against Defendant for failure to respond to the Complaint or otherwise defend this action. (Dkt. No. 16.)
On April 6, 2015, Plaintiff sued Defendant for breach of contract. Since default has been entered against Defendant and there being an express finding of no just reason for delay, Plaintiff's Application for Default Judgment is granted. See Fed. R. Civ. Proc., § 55(b)(2). Accordingly, the Court hereby orders entry of judgment as follows against Defendant RMA:
1. Judgment in favor of Plaintiff in the sum of $758,186;
2. Interest in the sum of $86,355.11 as of the date of Plaintiff's Application for Default Judgment, which shall continue to accrue at the parties' contractually agreed upon rate of 3 percent above the Prime Lending Rate until judgment is paid; and
3. Attorneys' fees in the sum of $20,490.82.
The Court further orders that this order and judgment is a final appealable order.
IT IS SO ORDERED. DATED: March 8, 2016
