1980)(interpreting 50 App. U.S.C. § 520(1), predecessor to 50

App. U.S.C. § 521(b)(1)). 

Plaintiffs should be prepared to prove their damages by

competent testimony or other admissible evidence. If

plaintiffs intend to prove damages by affidavits or

declarations, the affiant or declarant should have personal

knowledge of all matters to which she testifies. For all

evidence, proper foundations must be established. For an

explanation of the evidentiary requirements for proving

damages in a default case, the parties are encouraged to

consult Chapter Six of Civil Procedure Before Trial by William

W. Schwarzer, A. Wallace Tashima, and James M. Wagstaffe.

Defendants should attend the hearing if they contest the

validity or amount of plaintiffs’ claim. Seven days before

the hearing, on Wednesday, April 12, 2006, plaintiffs shall

file a declaration setting forth in detail all steps taken to

serve defendants with notice of this hearing.
