ORDER ON DEFENDANT’S MOTION FOR ATTORNEYS’ FEES AND COSTS
SAYLOR, J.
On April 20, 2018, the Court granted defendant American Honda Finance Corporation’s
(“AHFC”) motion for summary judgment. In its memorandum and order, the Court directed
AHFC to file a memorandum and supporting affidavits and exhibits in support of its claim for
reasonable attorneys’ fees and costs and $13,404.80 in damages by May 11, 2018. Plaintiff
George Kersey was directed to file any opposition by May 25, 2018.
Plaintiff has now filed an opposition which largely reiterates arguments made in his prior
motion for summary judgment. To the extent the opposition can be construed as a motion for
reconsideration, the motion is DENIED.
No meaningful opposition having been filed, defendant’s motion for attorneys’ fees and
costs is GRANTED. Defendant AHFC is hereby awarded $13,404.80 in damages, $32,658 in
attorneys’ fees, and $81.68 in costs, for a total of $46,144.48. 1

Defendant incurred $31,878 in attorneys’ fees for the underlying litigation, plus another $780 in
attorneys’ fees for preparing the present motion.

So Ordered.
