Defendants.

No. C-03-1399 CW (EMC)

ORDER RE EVIDENCE ON DAMAGES

IN SUPPORT OF PLAINTIFFS’

MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

(Docket No. 53)

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for default judgment, which Judge Wilken has referred to the

undersigned for a report and recommendation. Having reviewed Plaintiffs’ brief and accompanying

submissions, the Court hereby orders Plaintiffs to provide additional evidence in support for their

claim for unpaid contributions. In support of this claim, Plaintiffs have submitted what appears to

be worksheets prepared by their auditors. See Donida Decl., Exs. D-E. However, for the most part,

Plaintiffs have not provided the underlying documentation on which the worksheets were based. For

example, Plaintiffs have not provided or described the underlying documentation showing how they

determined the number of hours worked by employees. Nor have Plaintiffs provided documentation

showing how they determined the fringe benefit contribution rates for the relevant time periods. 

Plaintiffs should submit competent admissible evidence with sufficient detail to explain the

calculations and bases therefor.
