The Court previously entered default judgments in favor of Plaintiff J&J Sports

Motions for an Award of Attorney Fees and Costs in each case. No Defendant has
responded to the Motions; fees and costs are recoverable under the statute in suit, see 47
U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(B)(iii); and the requested fees (including the number of hours
expended by J&J’s counsel and his hourly rate) and costs are, in the Court’s view,
appropriate. Based on the foregoing, and all the files, records, and proceedings herein,
IT IS ORDERED:
1.

In Civ. No. 10-1952, J&J’s Motion (Doc. No. 27) is GRANTED, and J&J

shall recover of Defendant Moises Cortes, individually and d/b/a Casa Vieja, the sum of
$2,051.17, comprising $1,650 in attorney fees and $401.17 in costs;

In Civ. No. 10-2772, J&J’s Motion (Doc. No. 24) is GRANTED, and J&J

shall recover of Defendants Martha Alicia Reynoso and Luis Alberto Rojas, individually
and d/b/a La Perla Del Pacifico, and Defendant La Perla Del Pacifico, Inc. d/b/a La Perla
Del Pacifico, jointly and severally, the sum of $2,071.13, comprising $1,622.50 in
attorney fees and $448.63 in costs; and

$2,008.69, comprising $1,567.50 in attorney fees and $441.19 in costs.
