Bay Lending Group, and Miss Elegant Expo
Defendants

This employment and breach of contract action was brought by plaintiff Eric Kohli, a
11 lawyer who represented himself pro se, against defendant Ajay Dayal, Quantified Investment
12 Group, LLC, Pacific Bay Lending Group, and Miss Elegant Expo, for failure to pay Kohli for
13 work he performed as part of an employment contract. See generally First am. compl. (FAC), ECF
14 No. 17. The case proceeded to a four-day jury trial against Dayal only in November 2024. At the
15 conclusion of trial, the jury found in favor of Kohli on his breach of contract, unjust enrichment,
16 fraud, fair labor standards act, and Nevada wage claims for relief. See Verdict, ECF No. 233.
17
Before trial, Kohli filed a motion for default judgment against all defendants, which I
18 denied without prejudice. Order denying default, ECF No. 203. Therein, I explained that after
19 weighing the Eitel factors and applying the Frow doctrine I declined to enter default judgment. Id.
20 As the jury has now returned a verdict against Dayal, there is no need to enter default against
21 him. However, Kohli still seeks a judgment against all defendants “jointly and severally.” See ECF
22 No. 17. Thus, the court issues this order directing Kohli to file a renewed motion for default
23 judgment if he is still seeking that relief against Quantified Investment Group LLC, Pacific Bay
24 Lending Group, and Miss Elegant Expo. If he is, Kohli must file a new motion for default
25 judgment addressing each of the Eitel factors.
