HENDRIX, LLC,
Plaintiffs,
-v-

17 Civ. 1927 (PAE) (GWG)
ORDER

LEON HENDRIX, et al.,
Defendants.
PAUL A. ENGELMAYER, District Judge:
On October 19, 2020, plaintiffs moved for civil contempt against defendant Leon
Hendrix and two non-parties to the original Complaint: Leon Hendrix’s daughter Tina Hendrix
(“Tina”) and Hendrix Music Academy (“HMA”). Plaintiffs contend that all three had violated
the Court’s permanent injunctions. Dkt. 468. On January 11, 2021, the Court found all three in
contempt. Dkt. 496. On January 25, 2021, having obtained counsel, Tina and HMA moved for
reconsideration of the Court’s contempt finding. Dkt. 502.
On February 11, 2021, the Court held a hearing on the motion for reconsideration and
received testimony from Tina. For the reasons stated during the hearing, and based on the
evidence received therein, including based on the limited (and now-severed) ties between HMA
and Leon Hendrix, the Court – with plaintiffs’ consent – vacates the contempt order, but solely
as to Tina and HMA. The July 24, 2020 permanent injunction the Court issued against Leon
Hendrix and his affiliates, see Dkt. 461, and the Court’s January 11, 2021 order, otherwise
remains in place. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion pending at
docket 502.

SO ORDERED.
