Plaintiffs,

 v.

GUADALUPE MANUEL CERVANTES,

Defendants.

 /

No. C 15-01215 JSW

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND

RECOMMENDATION AND GRANTING

MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

This matter comes before the Court upon consideration of Magistrate Judge Joseph C.

Spero’s Report and Recommendation (the “Report”), in which he recommends that this Court grant

the motion for default judgment filed by Board of Trustees of the Laborers Health and Welfare Trust

Fund for Northern California, Laborers Vacation-Holiday Trust Fund for Northern California,

Laborers Pension Trust Fund for Northern California, and Laborers Training and Retraining Fund

for Northern California (“Plaintiffs”) against Defendant Tear-N-It Up Demolition, Inc. (“Defendant

TUD”) and Guadalupe Manuel Cervantes on their claims for unpaid employee benefit contributions. 

No objections were filed. 

Having considered the Report, Plaintiff’s papers, the relevant legal authority, and the record

in this case, the Court finds the Report thorough and well-reasoned and adopts it in every respect. 

Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ motion for default judgment is GRANTED as to Defendant TUD but

DENIED as moot as to Defendant Cervantes.
