UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIRECT CONNECT LOGISTIX, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

ROAD KINGS TRUCKING INC.,

STAR LOGISTICS INC.,

Defendants.

_________________________________ ____ /

Case No. 1:16-cv-01006-AWI-SKO

ORDER TO SUPPLEMENT RECORD

(Doc. No. 13)

Before the Court is the Notice of Motion and Motion of Plaintiff Direct Connect Logistix, 

Inc. for Default Judgment Against Both Defendants; and Supporting Declaration (the “Motion for 

Default Judgment”). (Doc. 13.) 

On September 27, 2016, the Court directed Plaintiff to file documentation in support of the 

Motion for Default Judgment, including “itemized documentation supporting Plaintiff’s request 

for attorneys’ fees.” (Doc. 14.) On September 30, 2016, Plaintiff filed, in pertinent part, the 

declaration of attorney Kathleen C. Jeffries, (Doc. 15 at 5–6), and invoices related to the amount 

of time Plaintiff’s counsel has spent on this matter (see id., Exs. E–G). However, Plaintiff failed 

to file any documentation supporting the requested hourly wages used by Plaintiff’s counsel, and 

the record is otherwise devoid of any evidence supporting these hourly wages. The Court notes 

that, regardless of whether there is any merit to the Motion for Default Judgment, it cannot make a

determination regarding the separate request for attorneys’ fees absent this additional evidence.

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS Plaintiff to file detailed evidence supporting its 

requested hourly wages for the attorneys’ fees determination no later than November 3, 2016. 

Plaintiff is cautioned that if it again fails to file adequate evidence supporting the requested 

hourly wages by that date, the Court will be unable to address the attorneys’ fees 

determination, regardless of whether there is merit to the Motion for Default Judgment, 

thereby precluding any award of attorneys’ fees.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 1, 2016 /s/ Sheila K. Oberto .
