Parsons v. Regna

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA ORLANDO DIVISION ALAN PARSONS; and APPERTAINING LLC, Plaintiffs, v. Case No. 6:20-cv-123-RBD-LRH JOHN REGNA; WORLD ENTERTAINMENT ASSOCIATES OF AMERICA, INC.; and DOES 1–20, Defendants. ____________________________________ ORDER Before the Court are: 1. Plaintiffs’ Renewed Motion on Amount of Attorneys’ Fees and Costs (Doc. 114 (“Motion”)); and 2. U.S. Magistrate Judge Leslie R. Hoffman’s Report and Recommendation (Doc. 127 (“R&R”)).

In this trademark dispute case, the Court found Defendants in civil contempt for violating a preliminary injunction and imposed sanctions, some of which included awarding Plaintiffs attorney’s fees for litigating the contempt motion. (See Doc. 108; Doc. 127, p. 2.) Plaintiffs submitted a Motion for attorney’s fees and on referral, Judge Hoffman recommends granting the Motion in part and denying it in part. (Doc. 114; Doc. 127, pp. 3-4.)

The parties did not object to the R&R and the time for doing so has passed, so the Court examines the R&R for clear error only. See Macort v. Prem, Inc., 208 F. App’x 781, 784 (11th Cir. 2006). Finding none, the R&R is due to be adopted.

Accordingly, it is ORDERED AND ADJUDGED: 1. The R&R (Doc. 127) is ADOPTED, CONFIRMED, and made a part of this Order in its entirety.

2. Plaintiffs’ Motion (Doc. 114) is GRANTED IN PART AND DENIED IN PART: a. The Motion is GRANTED in that Plaintiffs are AWARDED $29,993.00 in attorneys’ fees. b. In all other respects, the Motion is DENIED.

DONE AND ORDERED in Chambers in Orlando, Florida, on January 4, 2022.
