Malibu Media, LLC, Plaintiff, v. Chrissy North, et al., Defendants.
ORDER ADOPTING 8/3/18 REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
Plaintiff filed this action on February 10, 2017. The matter was referred to Magistrate Judge Steven R. Whalen for determination of all non-dispositive motions pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1) and Report and Recommendation pursuant to § 636(b)(1)(B) and (C).
On August 3, 2018, the magistrate judge issued a Report and Recommendation ("R&R") (Docket Entry No. 13) wherein he recommends: 1) that the Court grant Plaintiff's motion seeking a default judgment against Defendant Chrissy North; 2) that the Court award Plaintiff statutory damages in the amount of $1,000.00 for each of the 13 copyrighted works, for a total default judgment of $13,000.00; 3) that Defendant Chrissy North, and those working in active concert or participation with her, be permanently enjoined from continuing to infringe Plaintiff's copyrighted works; and 4) that Defendant Chrissy North be ordered to delete and permanently remove any fringing copies of Plaintiff's works under Defendant's possession, custody, or control.
Pursuant to FED. R. CIV. P. 72(b), a party objecting to the recommended disposition of a matter by a Magistrate Judge must filed objections to the R&R within fourteen (14) days after being served with a copy of the R&R. "The district judge to whom the case is assigned shall make a de novo determination upon the record, or after additional evidence, of any portion of the magistrate judge's disposition to which specific written objection has been made." Id.
The time for filing objections to the R&R has expired and the docket reflects that neither party has filed objections to the R&R. The Court hereby ADOPTS the August 3, 2018 R&R and ORDERS that Plaintiff's motion for default judgment as to Defendant Chrissy North is GRANTED and a Default Judgment shall be issued.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
