United States District Court
Northern District of California
Case No. 22-cv-03924-WHO
12
13
Plaintiff Dave Tacon moves for entry of default judgment in this action arising from the
14
alleged infringement of his copyright-protected photograph by defendant Keva Link LLC (“Keva
15
Link”). His motion is GRANTED. As explained in the January 11, 2023, Minute Order, which I
16
incorporate by reference here, the majority of the factors articulated in Eitel v. McCool, 782 F.2d
17
1470, 1471-72 (9th Cir. 1986) support default judgment. See Dkt. No. 27. The only lingering
18
issue was the amount of damages. Id. Tacon then filed a supplemental notice stating that he
19
would accept an award of $7,830 in statutory damages, which the evidence presented supports.
20
Dkt. No. 28.
21
Accordingly, default judgment is entered against Keva Link in the amount of $7,830 in
22
statutory damages, plus $5,587.50 in attorney fees and $641 in costs. Keva Link is also enjoined
23
from continuing to store and display the photograph at issue on its website in order to prevent
24
further infringement. See 17 U.S.C. § 502(a).

26
IT IS SO ORDERED.
