Case No. 5:13-cv-01800 HRL

INTERIM ORDER RE PLAINTIFF’S 

MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

On December 17, 2013, the court held a hearing on plaintiff’s motion for default judgment. 

Plaintiff’s counsel, however, did not appear and instead sent another attorney to make a “special 

appearance” on plaintiff’s behalf. That specially appearing attorney had not had any prior 

involvement in the case. The court therefore directed the attorney to have plaintiff’s counsel 

submit a supplemental letter brief addressing the possible inconsistency between plaintiff’s 

supporting declaration ¶ 9 (in which he says that he always worked overtime) and the allegations 

of his complaint ¶¶ 14-15, 23 (in which he says that defendants “routinely” required him to work 

overtime, and he “occasionally” did so). See Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(c) (“A default judgment must not 

differ in kind from, or exceed in amount, what is demanded in the pleadings.”). Plaintiff having 

not yet submitted his supplemental letter brief, the court orders him to do so no later than January
