IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

SAN JOSE DIVISION

SYNNEX CORPORATION., a Delaware

Corporation,

Plaintiff,

v.

COMPU-CRAZE, INC., a New York

Corporation; and DOES 1 to 50 inclusive,

No. C-05-02594 RMW

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S MOTION

FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT BY COURT

[Re Docket No. 15]

Plaintiff Synnex Corporation moves for entry of a default judgment against defendant CompuCraze, Inc. For the reasons given below, the court will grant the motion.

On June 24, 2005, Synnex filed a complaint in this court against Compu-Craze. Over the prior

decade, Synnex had apparently been selling computer hardware to Compu-Craze, but Compu-Craze had

recently defaulted on its payment obligations. Compl. ¶¶ 4-9. Synnex stated that Compu-Craze had not

paid for $524,171.76 worth of merchandise, id. ¶ 9, and prayed for relief in this amount, as well as interest,

attorneys' fees, and costs, id. at 5. 

Synnex filed with the court a certificate of service upon Compu-Craze on September 9, 2005. 

Compu-Craze did not answer the complaint or file any responsive pleading, and on November 9, 2005, the

1 Synnex computes the interest figure as follows: First, dividing one-tenth of the principal

amount by 365, which, rounded to the nearest cent, indicates Compu-Craze owes Synnex $143.61 in

simple 10 percent annual interest per day. Synnex calculates that there are 189 days between May 6,

2005, (the alleged date of Compu-Craze's default on its obligation to pay Synnex) and November 11,

2005, (the date the court clerk entered Compu-Craze's default in this action). $143.61 x 189 =

$27,142.29.

court clerk entered Compu-Craze's default. Synnex now moves for entry of a default judgment against

Compu-Craze in the amount of $551,709.05.

In addition to the $524,171.76 principal amount, Synnex seeks $27,142.29 in interest1 and $395 in

costs. Synnex has submitted adequate documentation—including invoices with the serial numbers of

products shipped—for the court to accept that the parties had a commercial relationship. The court is

uncertain, though, how Synnex arrived at the figure $524,171.76. The statement of account that Synnex

included with its motion lists a "total" amount of $530,024.03, and a "total past due" amount of

$520,067.18. Mot. for Default J. by Ct., Ex. 3 at 1. As the court cannot determine the basis for Synnex's

request for $524,171.76, the court will award Synnex the slightly lower "total past due" amount of

$520,067.18. The court will also award Synnex 189 days' worth of 10 percent simple annual interest on

this amount, or $26,911.07. The court accepts Synnex's proof of court costs.

ORDER

For the foregoing reasons, the court grants Synnex a default judgment against Compu-Craze

pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 55(b)(2) and awards damages to Fujitsu as follows:

1. Unpaid amounts $520,067.18

2. Prejudgment interest at 10% per annum $26,911.07

3. Court costs $395.00

TOTAL $547,373.25
