ORDER RE SUPPLEMENTAL

BRIEFING/EVIDENCE FOR

PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION FOR DEFAULT

JUDGMENT

(Docket No. 21)

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for default judgment against all Defendants. Having reviewed

the motion, the Court hereby orders Plaintiffs to provide supplemental briefing/evidence, within a

week of the date of this order, on the following issues.

(1) Plaintiffs allege that Nelson’s Painting & Decorating (“Nelson’s Painting”) is a partnership. 

Plaintiffs shall provide any factual support they have for this allegation.

(2) Plaintiffs allege that Admiral Nelson Peckham and Nelson Lee Peckham are partners in

Nelson’s Painting. Plaintiffs shall provide any factual support they have for this allegation.

(3) Plaintiffs shall clarify the method by which Admiral Nelson Peckham was served. The

proofs of service on their face indicate that he was both personally served and served by

substituted service, which does not make sense because personal service would obviate the

need for substituted service.1

(4) Plaintiffs shall provide evidence to show that it made a reasonably diligent effort to serve

Nelson Lee Peckham by personal delivery, i.e., before resorting to substituted service. If

Admiral Nelson Peckham was also served by substituted service, Plaintiffs shall provide

similar evidence for him.

(5) Plaintiffs shall provide an explanation as to how they calculated each of the interest amounts

identified on page 1 of their motion. See Mot. at 1 (identifying interest for different time

periods).

Plaintiffs shall immediately serve a copy of this order on Defendants and file a proof of

service with the Court. Plaintiffs must also serve a copy of their supplemental briefing/evidence on

Defendants.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
