ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF'S

MOTION FOR ENTRY OF

DEFAULT JUDGMENT

Following review of plaintiffs’ Motion for Entry of

Default Judgment, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that plaintiffs’

attorney be prepared at the hearing to either (a) establish

that imposing a higher rate of liquidated damages in the

event the matter is referred to an attorney is not a

penalty as a matter of law, (See Board of Trustees v.

Udovch, 771 F.Supp. 1044, 1048-1051 (N.D.Cal., 1991)) or

(b) prove that the higher rate of liquidated damages is a

reasonable computation of damages plaintiffs expected to

sustain as a result of referring the matter to an attorney.
