The Application of Plaintiffs Delia Halady, as Successor-in-Interest to and as Wrongful Death Heir of Theodore Haladay, Deceased, and Michael Haladay, and Theodore Halady, Jr., as Wrongful Death Heirs of Theodore Haladay, Deceased, for Entry of Default Against Defendants: (1) Kelly-Moore Paint Company, Inc., in the amount of $2,000,000.00; and (2) K-M Industries Holding Co., Inc., in the amount of $2,000,000.00 is GRANTED.

The Court has reviewed the prove-up packet including the Judicial Council Form CIV-100, the memorandum, Mr. Nevin's declaration and the attached exhibits, which are admitted. The Court finds Defendants have been served with process, failed to answer or appear and defend the action within the time allowed by law, and default has been duly entered. As such, Plaintiffs are entitled to the relief sought in the Application. The Court intends to execute the proposed judgment accompanying the application.

The Court no longer provides a court reporter in the Law and Motion department. Parties may retain their own reporter, who may appear in the courtroom or remotely. A retained reporter must be a California certified court reporter (CSR), for only a CSR's transcript may be used in California courts. If a CSR is being retained, include in your email all of the following: Their name, CSR and telephone number, and their individual work email address. There will be only one official record. If the parties cannot agree, the Court will designate a qualified court reporter to provide the official transcript for the matter, and the party or parties will bear the cost. =(304/EPS) | |
