MEMORANDUM OPINION AND ORDER
THIS MATTER is before the Court on the Magistrate Judge's Proposed Findings and Recommended Disposition [Doc. 20] ("PF&RD"), issued on January 24, 2017. In light of the default judgment entered in favor of Plaintiff, [Doc. 18], and on reference by the undersigned, [Doc. 19], the Honorable Stephan M. Vidmar, United States Magistrate Judge, recommended that the Court grant certain, specific relief, [Doc. 20]. No objections were filed, and the time for doing so has passed.
After entry of default, it remains for the court to consider whether the unchallenged facts constitute a legitimate basis for the entry of a judgment. Purzel Video GmbH v. Martinez, 13 F.
