Case No. 2:16-CV-592 JCM (VCF)

v.
MIKAYLA NEBEL, et al.,

Defendant(s).

Presently before the court is plaintiff Security Alarm Financing Enterprises, L.P.’s

15

proposed final judgment in a civil action and permanent injunction. (ECF No. 124). This court

16

has reviewed and will adopt the proposed judgment, with two caveats: (1) this court clarifies that

17

it received the transferred action on March 17, 2016, (ECF No. 55) and; (2) plaintiff has not

18

presented sufficient proof for its calculation of requested attorneys’ fees, which are permissible

19

under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a). See Gracie v. Gracie, 217 F.3d 1060, 1070 (9th Cir. 2000) (“[T]he

20

district court also erred by not developing an adequate record to establish the reasonableness of

21

the total fee award.”); see also Octane Fitness, LLC v. ICON Health & Fitness, Inc., 134 S. Ct.

22

1749, 1756 (2014) (defining the term “exceptional,” with reference to 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a)).

23

Therefore, the court will grant the relief requested in the proposed final judgment and

24

reiterated below, with the exception of the $24,978.95 requested for attorneys’ fees. (ECF No.

25

124).

26

Should plaintiff seek attorneys’ fees pursuant to § 1117(a), it will file a corresponding

27

motion for attorneys’ fees within fourteen (14) days of the date of this order. That motion must

28

comply with Local Rule 54-14. See Branch Banking & Trust Co. v. Pahrump 194, LLC, No. 2:12-

2

attorneys’ fees for failure to strictly adhere to Local Rule 54-14).

Accordingly,

4

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED that plaintiff’s proposed

5

judgment (ECF No. 124) be, and the same hereby is, ADOPTED in accordance with the foregoing,
