The Court recognizes that the above amount is less than the amount requested in 

Plaintiffs’ motion. See Mot. at 2 (Docket No. 22). However, all of the monthly 

contribution amounts requested in the motion, except for the contributions from August, 

2013, are estimates from a formula based on the reported hours from past months, rather 

than contributions based on employee hours recorded during that month. Id. at 4. As a 

result, the vast majority of Plaintiffs’ requested relief is derived from months for which the 

number of employee hours is unknown, and could even be zero. Plaintiffs have failed to 

prove up the damages requested. See Truong Giang Corp. v. Twinstar Tea Corp., No. 06-

cv-3594-JSW, 2007 WL 1545173, at *12, *14 (N.D. Cal. May 29, 2007). As ordered 

below, however, Plaintiffs are entitled to an audit of Defendants’ records, and may submit 

further proof of damages in the future.

It is further ORDERED that interest shall continue to accrue at a rate of 10% per 

annum on unpaid contributions ($1,347.90) from March 11, 2015, until paid, and at post 

judgment interest rates on the balance of the judgment ($5,246.41).

It is further ORDERED that Defendants comply with an audit of their records, if 

requested by Plaintiffs. Plaintiffs may submit the results of such an audit, along with other 

declarations, in support of a future motion to amend the judgment. 

The Clerk shall enter judgment and close the file. However, the Court will retain 

jurisdiction over this matter so that Plaintiffs may, if appropriate, file a motion to amend 

the judgment following the audit.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
