What happened
In Paypolitan OU v. Marchesoni, Paypolitan OU sued Eloisa Marchesoni and Giacomo Arcaro, including for breach of contract and conversion. After the defendants did not answer or formally appear, the court previously entered default judgment for Paypolitan on its breach-of-contract claim.
The court had sent the damages question to Magistrate Judge Lehrburger, who recommended awarding Paypolitan $809,258.59 in damages and $532 in costs. No party objected to that recommendation, so the court reviewed it for obvious error and found none.
Judge Ronnie Abrams adopted the recommendation in full, awarded Paypolitan the stated damages and costs, directed the Clerk of Court to enter judgment for Paypolitan, and closed the case.
