HONORABLE PAUL L. MALONEY

JUDGMENT
Having entered default against Defendant CARite of Kalamazoo, the Court determines that
there is no just reason for delay in entering default judgment as well. Therefore, pursuant to Fed.

Defendant CARite of Kalamazoo.
Plaintiff is awarded, and IT IS ORDERED that Defendant CARite of Kalamazoo, shall pay
to Plaintiff relief in the amount of $56,997.00, plus costs. If the parties cannot reach agreement
regarding costs, Plaintiff shall submit a bill of costs, with supporting documentation as necessary,
as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d) and Rule 54.1 of the Local Civil Rules of the Western District
of Michigan. The court also finds that Plaintiff is entitled to reasonable attorney’s fees pursuant to
15 U.S.C. § 1691e(d) and 15 U.S.C. § 1640(a). Plaintiff shall file a motion for such fees, with
adequate support, as required by Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(d)(2).
