Plaintiffs,

 v.

ROYCE B PETERSON ROOFING, INC.

d/b/a PETERSON & JENKINS

ROOFING COMPANY,

Defendant. /

No. C 05-0195 SBA

ORDER

[Docket No. 17]

On January 12, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Defendant Royce B. Peterson Roofing,

Inc. for violations of the National Labor Relations Act of 1947, 29 U.S.C. § 185(a), and the Employee

Retirement Income Security Act, 29 U.S.C. § 1132. 

On April 20, 2005, Plaintiffs moved for entry of default against Defendant. On April 21, 2005,

default was entered against Defendant.

On or about August 31, 2005, the Court was notified that a settlement had been reached between

the parties. Accordingly, on that date, the Court dismissed the case without prejudice to being reopened

in the event that the settlement was not finalized within thirty days.

On September 27, 2005, Plaintiffs filed a Stipulated Judgement and Proposed Order (hereinafter

referred to as the "Proposed Judgment") [Docket No. 17]. In the Proposed Judgment, Plaintiffs request

that the Court enter judgment in the amount of $10,729.02, which is comprised of liquidated damages

for the months of August 2004 through May 2005 in the amount of $10,404.02, and costs of suit in the

amount of $325.00. Plaintiffs also request that the judgment reflect that no action shall be taken to

enforce the judgment prior to August 10, 2006.

Having reviewed the papers submitted by Plaintiffs, the Court notes that it cannot recognize the

Proposed Judgment as a stipulation, since the stipulation is signed by a representative of Peterson &

Jenkins Roofing Inc., a California corporation, and not by an attorney. Pursuant to Civil Local Rule 3-

9(b), a corporation may appear in this Court only through a member of the bar of this Court. The Court

shall therefore construe Plaintiffs' submission as an unopposed motion for default judgment. Having

considered the papers submitted by Plaintiffs, the Court finds that judgment shall be entered in Plaintiffs'

favor pursuant to Plaintiffs' request. 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT judgment shall be entered in favor of Plaintiffs and against

Defendant Royce B. Peterson Roofing, Inc. in the amount of $10,729.02, which amount is comprised

of the following:

(a) Liquidated damages for the months of August 2004 through May 2005 in the amount of

$10,404.02; and

(b) Costs of suit incurred herein in the amount of $325.00.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT no action shall be taken to enforce this judgment prior to

August 10, 2006. If Defendant pays all fringe benefits on time through that date a full satisfaction shall

be issued. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
