LOS ANGELES -- A judge has awarded nearly $58,000 to a man who claims Prince failed to pay him for editing work and unreturned equipment.

The judgment fell well short of the $1 million in exemplary damages Lewis was seeking. Documents show Alarcon also denied Lewis' claim Prince and his company broke a $25,000 computer because no receipts were provided.
Lewis sued Prince and his company, Paisley Park Enterprises, in October 2007.
Prince's attorneys withdrew from the case and he was not represented during the trial.
