MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery 8 and motion for electronic service of process 10 are 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 8/27/2025, Plaintiff shall file a status report with an update on the case. Telephone status hearing is set for 9/3/2025 at 9:15 a.m. The call-in number is (855) 244-8681 and the access code is 172 628 1276##. Attorneys of record may not use speakerphones during the status hearing. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing but will be placed on mute. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: No remaining defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [19] 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. 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 defendants (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 [22] that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the objection deadline, but no objection to the motion for entry of default judgment has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter separate Final Default Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice
