Case No. 3:18-cv-04118-WHO 

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND 

RECOMMENDATION AND 

GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ MOTION 

FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT

Re: Dkt. No. 32

On May 31, 2019, United States Magistrate Judge Laurel Beeler issued a report and 

recommendation that default judgment be entered against the defendants in this case. Dkt. No. 32. 

It was then reassigned to me. Dkt. No. 33. The plaintiffs served the defendants on June 6, 2019. 

Dkt. No. 34. As of the date of this Order, no party has filed an objection to the report and 

recommendation. 

I find Judge Beeler’s report well-reasoned, thorough, and correct; I adopt it in every 

respect. Accordingly, plaintiffs’ motion for default judgment is GRANTED. Judgment is entered 

in the amount of $527,684.33 comprised of (1) $404,883.00 in assessed withdrawal liability, (2) 

$80,976.60 in liquidated damages, (3) $21,185.72 in interest from April 1, 2018 through April 17, 

2019, (4) $2,384.78 in additional interest from April 18, 2019 through May 30, 2019, (5) 

$14,248.00 in attorney’s fees from January 9, 2019 through April 17, 2019, (6) $184.00 in 

attorney’s fees from April 18 through May 29, 2019, (7) $3,713.23 in costs from January 9, 2019 

through April 17, 2019, and (8) $109.00 in additional costs through May 29, 2019. Further, the 

defendants are ORDERED to provide plaintiffs with the records necessary to determine
