Plaintiffs PROGRESSIVE DIRECT INSURANCE COMPANY and PROGRESSIVE

12

NORTHERN INSURANCE COMPANY (collectively “Progressive”) filed their motion for entry

13

of default judgment as to Martin Vargas. ECF No. 34. I have considered all applicable papers

14

and pleadings on file, and I find that the factors set forth in Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d 1470 (9th

15

Cir. 1986) favor entry of default judgment in favor of Progressive.

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Progressive’s application for entry of default judgment
(ECF No. 34) is GRANTED. I declare that:
Defendant Martin Vargas’ policy with Progressive was void ab initio as a result of
misrepresentations by Mr. Vargas at the time of application.
Progressive is, therefore, not bound by the policy or law to defend or indemnify Mr.
Vargas under the policy.
DATED this 5th day of April, 2017.
ANDREW P. GORDON
UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
