Judgment against Defendant Kosak Golden Penny Industries, LLC, et al., [ECF Nos. 27, 35] 9 Defendants 12 In this signal-piracy case, Plaintiff J&J Sports Productions, Inc. alleges that Jerome Kosak illegally broadcast the May 2015 championship boxing match between Floyd Mayweather, Jr. and Manny Pacquiao at the Rebel Republic bar owned by Golden Penny Industries, LLC. J&J claims that it held the exclusive license to exhibit the bout and moves for summary judgment on its claim against Kosak.1 Kosak did not respond to the motion, and Magistrate Judge Brenda Weksler thoughtfully considered that motion and recommends that I grant it in part.2 The deadline for any party to object to that recommendation was September 25, 2020, and no party filed anything. “[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge’s report and recommendation unless objections are filed.”3 Having reviewed the R&R, I find good cause to adopt it, and I do.
