objections were timely filed, the Court agrees with the analysis set forth in the Report and
Recommendation. Therefore, it is ORDERED and ADJUDGED as follows:
1. The Report and Recommendation (Doc. 16) is ADOPTED and CONFIRMED and
made a part of this Order.
2. Plaintiff’s Motion for Default Final Judgment (Doc. 14) is GRANTED.

that: (1) neither Monsters at Large nor the underlying screenplay infringes any
copyright held by Defendant; and (2) Plaintiff has no contractual obligations of any
kind to Defendant with respect to Monsters at Large, its underlying screenplay,
