Plaintiff shall calculate the interest due as of January 31, 2007, the date the Court

intends to enter judgment.

$1,036,265.72, representing defendant’s withdrawal liability obligation owed to plaintiff. 

(See Perkins Decl., filed December 1, 2006, Ex. 4 at 1.)

2. Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. § 1399(c)(5), plaintiff is entitled to accrued interest on the

above-referenced unpaid obligation as of July 1, 2005, the date the first required payment

was not timely made. (See Perkins Decl. Ex. 4 at 4.) Plaintiff has not provided the Court

with an accrued interest calculation, however. Consequently, the Court will defer entry of

judgment until plaintiff has provided such calculation. In that respect, plaintiff shall file, no

later than January 29, 2007, a supplemental memorandum setting forth the amount of

prejudgment interest to which it asserts it is entitled, and a declaration setting forth the

manner in which the requested sum was calculated.2

3. Pursuant to 29 U.S.C. §1451(e), defendant is liable to plaintiff for plaintiff’s costs

and reasonable attorney’s fees. Plaintiff shall file a motion for an award of attorney’s fees

and costs and/or bill of costs no later than 14 days after entry of judgment. See Civil L.R.

54-1(a), 54-6(a).

IT IS SO ORDERED.
