Joe Hand Promotions, Inc. v. 9th Island Kava Lounge LLC
Trial Court Opinion
1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 2 DISTRICT OF NEVADA 3 JOE HAND PROMOTIONS, INC., Case No.: 2:24-cv-00241-APG-NJK
4 Plaintiff Order Granting Motion for Default Judgment 5 v. [ECF No. 10] 6 9TH ISLAND KAVA LOUNGE, LLC; STARRIE HAWKINS; JAIOME ALBORO, 7 Defendants 8
9 Joe Hand Promotions moves for default judgment. ECF No. 10. Default has been entered 10 against defendants 9th Island Kava Lounge, LLC, Starrie Hawkins, and Jaiome Alboro. ECF No. 11 9. The motion satisfies the factors set forth in Eitel v. McCool,
782 F.2d 1470(9th Cir. 1986). I 12 thus find good cause to grant the motion in part. 13 Joe Hand alleges that the defendants violated Section 705 of the Federal Communications 14 Act of 1934 by broadcasting three Ultimate Fighting Championship bouts without authorization. 15 ECF No. 10 at 2. Joe Hand requests an award of $20,000 for each of those three violations. 16 However, the Affidavit attached to its motion describes only one violation. ECF No. 10-5. The 17 other two alleged violations are based only on advertising for two other televised fights. ECF 18 Nos. 10-6, 10-7. But there is no proof that the defendants actually showed those two events on 19 those nights. I therefore find only one violation. 20 I HEREBY ORDER that the motion for default judgment (ECF No. 10) is granted in 21 part. The clerk of the court is directed to enter judgment in favor of plaintiff Joe Hand 22 Promotions and against defendants 9th Island Kava Lounge, LLC, Starrie Hawkins, and Jaiome 23 Alboro, joint and several, as follows: Violation of Title
