SECOND APPELLATE DISTRICT

DIVISION EIGHT

NEWNEW, INC., B338304

Plaintiff and Respondent, (Los Angeles County Super. Ct. No. 23STCV23426) v.

JENNIFER WILLIAMS,

Defendant and Appellant.

APPEAL from a judgment of the Superior Court of Los Angeles County. Bruce G. Iwasaki, Judge. Affirmed. Jennifer Williams, in pro. per., for Defendant and Appellant. Eisner and Jeremiah Reynolds for Plaintiff and Respondent.

**********

Defendant and appellant Jennifer Williams appeals from the entry of a default judgment entered in favor of plaintiff and respondent NewNew, Inc. Because we have no adequate record to determine whether any error occurred below, we affirm. FACTUAL AND PROCEDURAL BACKGROUND NewNew brought this action for breach of contract and related claims against Williams based on Williams’s alleged breach of a Contractor Non-Disclosure and Services Agreement. NewNew filed a first amended complaint in November 2023, and obtained entry of default against Williams on January 5, 2024, after she failed to file a responsive pleading. Judgment was entered in favor of NewNew and against Williams on March 25, 2024. The judgment imposed a permanent injunction requiring Williams to return, within 14 days, the laptop issued to her by NewNew, to refrain from any further copying, deleting, or altering any NewNew documents, including any work product information acquired while Williams was under contract with NewNew, and to hold confidential any confidential information or trade secrets learned while under contract with NewNew. NewNew was awarded $43,370.30 in attorney’s fees and costs as prevailing party. (Civ. Code, § 1717.) On April 15, 2024, Williams filed a notice of appeal from the entry of the default judgment. We granted Williams leave to augment the record. Williams designated the reporter’s transcript from the March 13, 2024 management conference which was subsequently filed with this court. No other documents were included in the augmented record. On September 30, 2025, we denied NewNew’s motion for sanctions against Williams for prosecuting a frivolous appeal.
