EverySpace Construction, LLC v. Encor Solar, LLC

Opinion

EVERYSPACE CONSTRUCTION, LLC, Case No.: 2:23-cv-01105-APG-DJA

Plaintiff Order Granting Second Supplemental Motion for Default Judgment v. [ECF No. 112] ENCOR SOLAR, LLC, et al.,

Defendants

I denied plaintiff Everyspace Construction, LLC’s first two motions for default judgment against defendant Encor Solar, LLC. ECF Nos. 106, 110. Everyspace’s second supplemental motion addresses the defects I previously pointed out. ECF No. 112. Default has been entered against Encor. ECF No. 101. The second supplemental motion satisfies the factors set forth in Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470, 1471-72 (9th Cir. 1986). I thus find good cause to grant the motion. I award judgment to Everyspace of $25,000,000 in general damages and $20,000,000 in punitive damages. Everyspace also seeks $374,477.00 in attorneys’ fees and $467.85 in nontaxable costs incurred in connection with this case. Everyspace has provided sufficient information for me to evaluate the fee request under the factors set forth in Brunzell v. Golden Gate Nat. Bank, 455 P.2d 31, 33 (Nev. 1969) and Kerr v. Screen Extras Guild, Inc., 526 F.2d 67, 70 (9th Cir. 1975). The rates charged and the time spent on tasks are reasonable. I therefore grant Everyspace’s request for its fees and costs. / / / / / / / / / / / / 1 I THEREFORE ORDER that Everyspace’s motion for default judgment (ECF No. 112) is granted. The clerk of the court is directed to enter judgment in favor of plaintiff Everyspace Construction, LLC and against defendant Encor Solar, LLC for the following amounts: $25,000,000 in general damages 5 $20,000,000 in punitive damages. 6 $374,477.00 in attorneys’ fees 7 $467.85 in non-taxable costs 8 Total Judgment Amount: $45,374,944.85 9 DATED this 31st day of July, 2025. i GA _ ANDREW P.
