ORDER
On August 20, 2014, the court referred this case to Magistrate Judge Paul R.

recommendation for the disposition of plaintiff’s motion (DE #16) for default judgment.
He did so on October 16, 2014 (DE #24), no party has filed an objection, and the time
period for doing so has expired.
The court has reviewed Magistrate Judge Cherry’s findings, report and
recommendation, and they and it are well-supported and reasoned. The court therefore
adopts Magistrate Judge Cherry’s findings, report and recommendation as its own
opinion in this matter. Accordingly, plaintiff’s motion for default judgment (DE #16)is
GRANTED, and the clerk is directed to ENTER FINAL JUDGMENT in favor of
plaintiff Joe Hand Promotions, Inc. and against defendants Miguel Serrato, individually
and d/b/a Miguel’s Mexican Fusion Grill, and Miguel Mexican Fusion Grill, LLC, an
unknown business entity d/b/a Miguel’s Mexican Fusion Grill, jointly and severally on

Count I of plaintiff’s complaint for $5,500.00 in damages, plus attorney fees and costs of
$3,110.00, for a total judgment sum of $8610.00. Post-judgment interest at the statutory
