MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge Jeffrey I. Cummings. Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process [10] is granted as set forth in the accompanying order. 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. On or before 8/13/25, the parties shall file a joint initial status report in accordance with the template available on the Court's website under the case management procedure titled "Initial Status Report for Newly Filed Cases." The parties shall also review all of the case management procedures and standing orders available on the Court's website, including the Court's case management procedure for motions to dismiss. Initial tracking status hearing set for 8/25/25 at 9:00 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required and the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will review the parties' joint initial status report and enter further orders as appropriate. Mailed notice

Aug. 5, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion [21] for entry of default and default judgment against all defendants. All remaining defendants have 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 objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before 8/19/25. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. The 8/25/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 9/29/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice. (jn,)

Aug. 29, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: No remaining defendant has 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 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 $100,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Enter Final Judgment Order. All pending deadlines and hearings are stricken. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice
