App. U.S.C. § 521(b)(1)). 

Plaintiff should be prepared to prove its damages by

competent testimony or other admissible evidence. If

plaintiff intends to prove damages by affidavits or

declarations, the affiant or declarant should have personal

knowledge of all matters to which she testifies. For all

evidence, proper foundations must be established. For an

explanation of the evidentiary requirements for proving

damages in a default case, the parties are encouraged to

consult Chapter Six of Civil Procedure Before Trial by William

W. Schwarzer, A. Wallace Tashima, and James M. Wagstaffe.

Defendant should attend the hearing if it contests the

validity or amount of plaintiff’s claim. Seven days before

the hearing, on Wednesday, March 29, 2006, plaintiff shall

file with the Clerk of the Court, and deliver directly to

chambers, a declaration setting forth in detail all steps

taken to serve defendant with notice of this hearing. If

defendant actually received notice of this hearing, plaintiff

should provide the Court with proof of service.
