`Civil Division
`
`IN THE STATE COURT OF FULTON COUNTY
`STATE OF GEORGIA
`
`
`
`
`
`CIVIL ACTION NO. 17EV004601F
`
`
`
`
`JANICE OSEI,
`
`
`
`v.
`
`TBC CORPORATION d/b/a NATIONAL TIRE
`AND BATTERY,
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff,
`
`Defendant.
`
`
`ORDER ENTERING DEFAULT JUDGMENT
`
`This action to recover damages for personal injuries was filed on June 23, 2015.
`
`Defendant was served but did not file an Answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint within
`
`the time permitted by law. Plaintiff then filed her pending motion for default judgment, and the
`
`matter was set before this Court on its Civil Motions calendar for April 23, 2018. Notice of the
`
`calendar was published in the Fulton County Daily Report, as required by law. Notice was also
`
`provided directly to counsel and the parties. At the call of the case for trial, Plaintiff appeared
`
`with counsel. Defendant failed to appear. Nor was a representative of Defendant present.
`
`After considering the evidence and testimony from Plaintiff, and after considering the
`
`entire record in this case, this Court finds that final judgment is warranted in this case. Initially,
`
`this Court notes that the Defendant was personally served with the Complaint and Summons and
`
`failed to file any response to the Complaint. Therefore, this Court finds that Defendant is in
`
`default.
`
`With a hearing on Default having been held pursuant to O.C.G.A. § 9-11-55, and all
`
`evidence in the record being considered, including the testimony of Plaintiff, this Court finds
`
`there being no just reason for delay, FINAL JUDGMENT is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff
`

`
`
`
`and against Defendant in the TOTAL AMOUNT of $68,300.97, consisting of special damages
`
`in the amount of $13,800.97, punitive damages in the amount of $50,000.00, plus costs of
`
`$270.00, plus post judgment interest as contemplated by O.C.G.A. § 7-4-12.
`
`SO ORDERED, this 10th day of May, 2018.
