ORDER
Simplot AB Retail, Inc.’s motion for default judgment against WEP Farms, LLC ("WEP
Farms") and Jaime Renee Manes ("Manes”) [Doc. No. 13] is granted. WEP Farms was served
on December 6, 2024, [Doc. No. 6] and Manes was served on December 4, 2024, [Doc. No. 5].
Neither defendant has responded. 	A clerk’s entry of default was entered against defendants
WEP Farms and Manes on May 8, 2025. The outstanding balance is for a sum that can be made
certain by computation. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b)(1). Judgment is therefore entered in favor of
Simplot against defendants WEP Farms and Manes, jointly and severally, in the amount of
$829,618.68, plus additional interest from March 24, 2025, at the rate of 12% per annum or
$6,842.51 per month plus post-judgment interest until the judgment is paid in full pursuant to 28
U.S.C. §1961. Simplot’s’ rights to petition the Court to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs
pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 54 are hereby reserved.
IT IS SO ORDERED this 23rd day of October 2025.
