The parties entered into a valid and binding settlement agreement which required Defendants to sell real property and put $450,000 into escrow for payments to Plaintiffs. (Jafari Decl. ¶¶ 2-5, Ex. 1.) Defendants violated the terms of the agreement and failed to take the actions required. Defendants were notified of the default, but refused or failed to cure it. Defendants were also served notice of the motion and hearing.

Pursuant to Civ. Proc. Code § 664.6 and the terms of the settlement agreement between the parties, the court will grant the motion and enter judgment in the total amount of $450,000.00, plus 10% annual interest from the date entry of judgment is made.

While the agreement also permits recovery of attorney fees and costs, Plaintiffs will need to seek those under a separate motion as there was no evidence of attorney fees and costs in the present motion.

Plaintiffs are also directed to file a proposed judgment for the court to review and sign.
