IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE MIDDLE DISTRICT OF GEORGIA
VALDOSTA DIVISION

CATERPILLAR
FINANCIAL
SERVICES CORPORATION,
Plaintiff,
Civil Action No. 7:14-CV-53 (HL)
v.
LUKE’S LAND SERVICES, LLC,
Defendant.

ORDER
Before the Court is Plaintiff Caterpillar Financial Services Corporation’s
Motion for Default Judgment (Doc. 6). The Court has considered the expediency
of holding a damages hearing under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2) and
is not persuaded such a hearing is necessary in this case. Having considered the
evidence of Plaintiff’s damages contained in the affidavit of Tracey Luke, the
Court now grants Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment and orders that final
judgment be entered in favor of Plaintiff Caterpillar Financial Services
Corporation and that Plaintiff have and recover from Defendant Luke’s Land
Services, LLC a total amount of $77,476.05. This figure is calculated from the
amounts of $68,761.58 owed on the loan principal, $1,648.47 in accrued interest,
and $7,066.00 in attorney fees, or 15% of the first $500.00 in principal and
interest and 10% thereafter.

SO ORDERED, this the 30th day of May, 2014.

s/ Hugh Lawson_______________
HUGH LAWSON, SENIOR JUDGE
