UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

SMAATO, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

MOBILEWALLA, INC.,

Defendant.

Case No.16-cv-05162-JSC 

ORDER DENYING MOTION FOR 

WRIT OF ATTACHMENT WITHOUT 

PREJUDICE

Re: Dkt. No. 7

Plaintiff Smaato, Inc., filed this civil action against Defendant Mobiewalla, Inc., on 

September 7, 2016. The day after Plaintiff filed the action, it filed a motion for writ of attachment 

pursuant to California Code of Civil Procedure Section 483.010 and noticed the motion for

hearing on October 27, 2016. (Dkt. No. 7.) After Defendant failed to timely appear or respond to 

service of the summons and complaint, Plaintiff filed a motion for default judgment by the clerk 

and requested that the Court continue the hearing on the application for a writ of attachment until 

November 10, 2016 anticipating a ruling on the motion for default judgment in advance of the 

hearing. (Dkt. Nos. 12 & 13.) The Court granted the request, but due to an electronic filing error 

the motion for default judgment was not decided before November 10. Plaintiff did not appear for 

the rescheduled hearing on November 10, 2016. Given Plaintiff’s stated preference to proceed 

with default judgment in lieu of the writ of attachment, the Court DENIES the motion for writ of 

attachment without prejudice. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: November 14, 2016
