ORDER DIRECTING PLAINTIFFS TO FILE BRIEFING IN SUPPORT OF THEIR MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND VACATING THE HEARING SET FOR AUGUST 5, 2019

(Doc. 69)

JENNIFER L. THURSTON, Magistrate Judge.

On June 28, 2019, Plaintiffs filed an "application for default judgment against Defendant Leonard Bros.," indicating they would present an application for default judgment at a hearing set for August 5, 2019. (Doc. 69) With the "application"—which appears to be a notice of hearing rather than a motion—Plaintiffs did not submit points and authorities related to the propriety of default judgment under Rule 55 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

Pursuant to Local Rule 230(b), a "moving party shall file a notice of motion, motion, accompanying briefs, affidavits, if appropriate, and copies of all documentary evidence that the moving party intends to submit in support of the motion." (Id., emphasis added) Thus, Plaintiffs are directed to file briefing in support of their application for default judgment, addressing the factors set forth by the Ninth Circuit in Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471-72 (9th Cir. 1986), to demonstrate the propriety of default judgment.

In addition, Plaintiffs shall file evidence related to the costs and attorney fees incurred, to support the requested amounts. In general, the party seeking fees bears the burden of establishing that the fees and costs were reasonably necessary to achieve the results obtained. See Fischer v. SJB-P.D., Inc., 214 F.3d 1115, 1119 (9th 2000). Therefore, a fee applicant must provide time records documenting the tasks completed and the amount of time spent on the action. Hensley v. Eckerhart, 461 U.S. 424, 424 (1983); Welch v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 480 F.3d 942, 945-46 (9th Cir. 2007). Without such information, the Court is unable to determine the propriety of a fee request.

Accordingly, the Court ORDERS:

The Court will re-set the matter for hearing if deemed necessary upon the receipt of Plaintiffs' brief and documentary evidence.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
