MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. The parties are ordered to file a Joint Initial Status Report for New Case by 6/4/25. A template for the report can be found on Judge Hunt's webpage under "Initial Status Conference and Status Report." A telephonic initial status hearing is set for 6/11/25 at 9:30 AM. Attorneys/parties may appear by dialing: 1-650-479-3207 and entering access code: 2311 499 1046. No attendee code is required. Please review in advance the policies governing telephonic hearings that can be found on Judge Hunt's webpage on the court website.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: The Court's 3/27/25 minute order setting a 6/4/25 initial status report deadline and 6/11/25 initial status hearing [16] is stricken. Because there has been no docket activity since 3/14/25 when Plaintiff filed an Amended Complaint [13] and Schedule A [14] and withdrew its motion for seal [15], Plaintiff must file a status report regarding next steps in this case by 4/14/25, if other appropriate relief has not been sought by that date. Failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal for want of prosecution. Mailed notice (gel,)

44

June 16, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [38] 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 marks irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. Because this infringement was willful and considering the value of Plaintiff's brand as well as the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $15,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against each remaining defendant. Enter Final Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice (gel,)

DEFAULT JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 6/16/2025. Mailed notice (gel,)
