In this signal-piracy case, Plaintiff J&J Sports Productions, Inc. alleges that Jerome

13 Kosak illegally broadcast the May 2015 championship boxing match between Floyd
14 Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao at the Rebel Republic bar owned by Golden Penny
15 Industries, LLC. J&J claims that it held the exclusive license to exhibit the bout and moves for
16 summary judgment on its claim against Kosak. 1 Kosak did not respond to the motion, and
17 Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler thoughtfully considered that motion and recommends that I
18 grant it in part. 2 The deadline for any party to object to that recommendation was September 25,
19 2020, and no party filed anything. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and
20 recommendation unless objections are filed.” 3 Having reviewed the R&R, I find good cause to
21 adopt it, and I do.
