16 2025-03-20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery and electronic service of process [12] is granted as to Defendant No. 1 in Amended Schedule A. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendant. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify the individuals or business entities who own and/or operate the e-commerce store under the seller alias, the nature of their operations, all associated sales, and the financial accounts used for their operations. By 5/1/2025, Plaintiff shall file a status report with an update on the case. Telephone status hearing is set for 5/8/2025 at 9:15 a.m. Mailed notice. (jn,)

21 2025-04-16 MOTION by Plaintiff Jantz & Jantz GbR d/b/a Anita's & Bella's Art/Artwork for default judgment as to the Defendant Identified in [Amended] Schedule A
[+] 22 2025-04-16 MEMORANDUM by Jantz & Jantz GbR d/b/a Anita's & Bella's Art/Artwork in support of motion for default judgment 21
23 2025-04-16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion 21 for entry of default and default judgment against the Defendant identified in [Amended] Schedule A. Defendant has failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, an order of default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objection to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before 4/23/2025. If no objection is filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. The Court will also rule on the papers unless a hearing is requested by 4/23/2025. A hearing, to be conducted via teleconferencing, may be requested by filing a Request for Hearing as a separate entry on the docket. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon defendant within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. A tentative default judgment hearing is set for 4/30/2025 at 9:15 a.m. Plaintiff need not file the status report due 5/1/2025. Telephone status hearing set for 5/8/2025 is stricken. Mailed notice

25 2025-04-24 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Defendant BEUU(Deliver in 7-14 Days) (No. 1 in [Amended] Schedule A) has not responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 21 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of plaintiff's copyright irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by defendant (plaintiff has failed to seek an accounting of profits), the value of plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $50,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Plaintiff has also certified and established 24 that it provided electronic notice to defendant of the objection deadline, but no objection to the motion for entry of default judgment has been filed by defendant. Because no default judgment hearing has been requested, the default judgment hearing tentatively set for 4/30/2025 is stricken. Enter separate Final Default Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice
26 2025-04-24 Enter Final Default Judgment Order on 4/24/2025. Mailed notice
