MEMORANDUM AND ORDER REGARDING REPORT AND
RECOMMENDATION ON PLAINTIFF’S MOTION
FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND ASSESSMENT OF DAMAGES
(Dkt. No. 23)
February 22, 2016
MASTROIANNI, U.S.D.J.
Plaintiff, J&J Sports Products, Inc., as the holder of the exclusive, nationwide, commercial
distribution rights to a May 4, 2013 WBO Welterweight Championship Fight between Floyd
Mayweather and Robert Guerrero (“the Program”), filed this suit against Defendants, Jose Bou and
Salsarengue, Inc., seeking damages for violation of federal broadcasting statutes in connection with
Defendants’ alleged unlawful interception and broadcasting of the Program at their bar, located at
392 High Street in Holyoke, Massachusetts. Defendants failed to appear or otherwise defend. The
clerk entered defaults against them on September 8, 2015 and on October 9, 2015 Plaintiff filed its
Motion for Default Judgment and Assessment of Damages. The case was referred to Magistrate
Judge Katherine A. Robertson and on January 20, 2016 she issued her Report and Recommendation

(“R&R”), advising that an award enter against Defendants in the amount of $11,181.90. Objections
to the R&R were due on February 3, 2016. No objection was filed by any party.
The court has reviewed the R&R, as well as the Plaintiff’s original motion. Noting that no
objections have been filed, the court, upon de novo review, hereby ADOPTS Judge Robertson’s R&R
(Dkt. No. 23).
The court, therefore, ALLOWS Plaintiff’s Motion for Entry of Default Judgement (Dkt. No.
10). The Clerk is ordered to enter a judgment for Plaintiff in the amount of $11,181.90. This case
may now be closed.
It is So Ordered.
