 Even after the entry of default, the decision to award default judgment is still within

the discretion of the court. Penpower Technology Ltd. v. S.P.C. Technology, 627 F.Supp.2d

1083, 1088 (N.D.Cal. 2008). In this case, the Court does not find an award of punitive

damages to be appropriate. Id. at 1093-94 (Court does not have to take allegations regarding

damages as true in the context of a default judgment.)

 Because this Order resolves all outstanding claims between all parties, the Clerk of

the Court shall close this case.

- 2 -

The Clerk of the Court shall enter judgment: (1) in favor of Plaintiff Auto Finance

Specialist, Inc., and against Defendant Circle T., Inc. in the amount of $48,252.67;2

 and (2)

in favor of Defendant Auto Shoppe, Inc., and against Plaintiff (with Plaintiff to take nothing

from Defendant Auto Shoppe, Inc.) based on this Court’s order of May 11, 2010 (Doc. #69).3

DATED this 27th day of May, 2010.
