Civil Action No. 9:13-cv-105

ORDER ADOPTING REPORT AND RECOMMENDATION
ON MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
The Court referred this matter to United States Magistrate Judge Keith F. Giblin
for consideration of and recommended disposition on case-dispositive pretrial motions.
On June 27, 2014, Judge Giblin issued his report and recommendation in which he
recommended that the Court grant in part and deny in part the motion for summary
judgment filed by Plaintiff J&J Sports Productions, Inc.
The Court has received and considered the report of the United States Magistrate
Judge, along with the record and pleadings. No party has filed objections to the
magistrate judge’s report. After review, the Court finds that Judge Giblin’s findings and
recommendations should be accepted. The Court ORDERS that the Report and
Recommendation on Motion for Summary Judgment (Doc. #18) is ADOPTED. The
Court further ORDERS that J&J Sports Productions, Inc.’s Motion for Summary
Judgment (Doc. #15) is GRANTED IN PART and DENIED IN PART. The motion is
granted as to Defendant Barbara Elaine Allen’s liability for violating the
Communications Act. The motion is denied, however, as to Defendant Barbara Elaine

Allen’s alleged willful violation of the Communications Act and the amount of damages
that should be awarded. Those issues remain for trial.

So ordered and signed on
