Defendants.

Defendant Marcos Mouet, d.b.a. Ranchos Mercados, Ltd., (“Mouet”) moves for

entry of partial judgment pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b). Plaintiffs do not oppose entry

of partial judgment but do oppose Mouet’s request for imposition of post-judgment

interest at the rate of 8% from the date of entry of this judgment. 

The court grants the motion for entry of partial judgment. Rule 54(b) permits

entry of final judgment against some, but not all parties if the court certifies “that there

is no just cause for delay” and expressly directs entry of judgment. Fed.R.Civ.P. 54(b).

Here, there is no just cause to delay entry of judgment against Mouet because all issues

against Mouet have been resolved, the dismissal of this defendant will not affect the

course of litigation against the remaining defendants, and entry of partial judgment will

promote the speedy resolution of the case against Mouet. 

As to the inclusion of interest, 28 U.S.C. §1961(a) provides that “[i]nterest shall

be allowed on any money judgment in a civil case. . . .” Accordingly, the court grants

post-judgment interest at the rate provided for by 28 U.S.C. §1961.

In sum, the court grants the motion for entry of partial judgment. The Clerk of

Court is instructed to enter judgment in favor of Mouet and against Plaintiffs. The

judgment shall also provide that “Defendant Mouet shall recover from the law firm of

Pinnock and Wakefield LLC his costs in the action in the amount of $15,213, plus

interest at the legal rate provided for by 28 U.S.C. §1961, calculated from the date of

entry of partial judgment.”

IT IS SO ORDERED.
