On August 22, 2019, the Court, in a separate case involving James B. Cox, granted in part
a motion to refer to the Register of Copyrights a question regarding the validity of a copyright

No. 1:17-cv-2-DMB-DAS, at Doc. #365 (N.D. Miss. Aug. 22, 2019). The same order stayed the
case pending resolution of the referral. Id. at 11. Due to the overlapping issues between this case
and the Ronaldo case, this Court also stayed this action. Doc. #61.
On November 12, 2019, the Register of Copyrights issued an opinion in response to the
referral. Ronaldo, at Doc. #369. Accordingly, the stay is LIFTED.
