IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

DUANE H. SCEPER,

Plaintiff, No. 2:09-cv-2878 GEB JFM

vs.

RASHED KAID MOHAMMED, 

RASHED KAID MOHAMMED, dba

FARMERS MINI MARKET, FARMER

MINI MARKET AKA FARMERS 

MARKET; and DOES 1 THROUGH 10, ORDER AND

Defendants. FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

 /

Presently calendared for hearing on January 14, 2010 is plaintiff’s motion for

entry of default judgment. Pursuant to Local Rule 230(g), the court has determined that the

matter will be submitted on the papers without oral argument. Upon review of the motion and

the documents in support and opposition, and good cause appearing therefor, THE COURT

MAKES THE FOLLOWING FINDINGS:

The complaint in this matter was served upon defendants Mohammed and

Farmers Mini Market on October 25, 2009, and proof of service was filed November 15, 2009. 

Cf. Pacific Atlantic Trading Co. v. M/V Main Express, 758 F.2d 1325, 1331 (9th Cir. 1985)

(noting that default judgment void without personal jurisdiction). The Clerk of the Court entered

default against both defendants on November 18, 2009. Plaintiff’s present motion for entry of

default judgment was served by mail on both defendants. 

Entry of default effects an admission of all well-pleaded allegations of the

complaint by the defaulted party. Geddes v. United Financial Group, 559 F.2d 557, 560 (9th Cir.

1977). Entry of default judgment is proper where, as in the present case, the facts established by

the default support the causes of action pled in the complaint. The complaint and the affidavits

filed in support of the motion for entry of default judgment also support the finding that plaintiff

is entitled to the relief requested in the prayer for default judgment, which does not differ in kind

from the relief requested in the complaint. Henry v. Sneiders, 490 F.2d 315, 317 & n.2 (9th Cir.

1974). There are no policy considerations to preclude the entry of default judgment of the type

requested. See Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471-72 (9th Cir. 1986) (enumerating factors to

be considered). 

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the January 14, 2010 hearing is

vacated; and

IT IS HEREBY RECOMMENDED that plaintiff's December 11, 2009 motion for

entry of default judgment (Doc. No. 12) be GRANTED and that judgment be awarded against

defendants Mohammed and Farmers Mini Market in the amount of $8,000.00. Further, that

injunctive relief be granted against defendant Mohammed requiring a properly-configured van

accessible disabled parking space with an accessible route to an accessible entrance and

appropriate signage in conformity with the Americans with Disabilities Act Accessibility

Guidelines (ADAAG) as set forth in 28 Code of Federal Regulations, Part 36. 

These findings and recommendations are submitted to the United States District

Judge assigned to the case, pursuant to the provisions of Title 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(l). Within

fourteen days after being served with these findings and recommendations, any party may file

written objections with the court and serve a copy on all parties. Such a document should be

captioned "Objections to Magistrate Judge's Findings and Recommendations." The parties are
