MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

Plaintiffs filed this ERISA action on April 8, 2009, alleging that defendant violated the terms

of a collective bargaining agreement (“CBA”) and certain Trust Agreements by failing to make regular

contributions to the San Mateo Hotel and Restaurant Employees Welfare and Pension Funds (“Trust

Funds”), of which plaintiffs are trustees. Plaintiffs seek damages for unpaid contributions, liquidated

damages, interest, attorneys’ fees and costs, and injunctive relief.

Defendant failed to answer the complaint or otherwise appear in this action, and default was

entered on September 1, 2009. On February 9, 2010, plaintiffs filed a motion for default judgment.

After holding a hearing on the motion, Magistrate Judge Zimmerman issued a Report and

Recommendation recommending that plaintiffs’ motion be granted, subject to certain modifications.

The matter was subsequently reassigned to this Court.

The Court has reviewed the Report and Recommendation. The Court hereby ADOPTS the

Report and Recommendation in full and GRANTS plaintiffs’ motion for default judgment. (Docket

Nos. 32, 25). The Court orders that default judgment be entered in favor of plaintiffs and against

defendant as follows:
