The Court previously entered default judgments in favor of Plaintiff J&J Sports Productions, Inc. ("J&J") in each of these cases. Presently before the Court are J&J's Motions for an Award of Attorney Fees and Costs in each case. No Defendant has responded to the Motions; fees and costs are recoverable under the statute in suit, see 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(B)(iii); and the requested fees (including the number of hours expended by J&J's counsel and his hourly rate) and costs are, in the Court's view, appropriate. Based on the foregoing, and all the files, records, and proceedings herein, IT IS ORDERED:
1. In Civ. No. 10-1952, J&J's Motion (Doc. No. 27) is GRANTED, and J&J shall recover of Defendant Moises Cortes, individually and d/b/a Casa Vieja, the sum of $2,051.17, comprising $1,650 in attorney fees and $401.17 in costs;
