UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

KIRLIN BUILDERS, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

NORTH AMERICAN SPECIALTY 

INSURANCE COMPANY,

Defendant.

Case No. 17-cv-00608-JST 

AMENDED ORDER ADOPTING 

MAGISTRATE'S REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION AND 

GRANTING DEFAULT JUDGMENT

Re: ECF Nos. 53, 66

The Court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Kandis Westmore’s report and recommendation, 

ECF No. 66, to grant Defendant/Cross-Claimant North American Specialty Co.’s (“NAS”) motion 

for default judgment against Cross-Defendants Selina Singh, Majindar Singh, Bara Infoware, Inc., 

and Federal Solutions Group, Inc. ECF No. 25. NAS served Cross-Defendants with the report on 

June 7, 2019. ECF No. 67. The period for objections has elapsed, and no objections were filed. 

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(2).

The Court finds the report correct, well-reasoned, and thorough, and adopts it in every 

respect. The defaulting cross-defendants have never appeared in the case, and NAS’s motion for 

default judgment in the form of damages is supported by the record. In particular, the Court 

concurs in Judge Westmore’s assessment of the factors enumerated by the Ninth Circuit in Eitel v. 

McCool, 782 F.2d 1470 (9th Cir. 1986). See ECF No. 66 at 6-9. The Court also agrees that an 

award of $3.5 million, plus prejudgment interest at an annual rate of 10 percent and post-judgment 

interest calculated according to 28 U.S.C. § 1961, is warranted here. Id. at 9-11.
