STATUS Report by Ruth Ann Thompson

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: The motion hearing set for 12/19/24 at 9:30 a.m. is reset for 12/19/24 at 9:00 a.m. (Time change only).

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: For the reasons set forth in plaintiff's motion, plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment is granted 35. 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 $5,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against each remaining defendant. Enter Final Judgment Order. No appearance is required on 12/19/24. Civil case terminated.

DEFAULT Judgment Order Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 12/17/24.

NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by All Plaintiffs as to defendant no.11 Youhao and no.14 Sagedarz
