Steven Hirsch Incorporated v. F151 Ventures, LLC

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK wn ee KX STEVEN HIRSCH INCORPORATED, : Plaintiff, : : 25-CV-213 (JMF) -v- : : ORDER F151 VENTURES, LLC, : Defendant. : wn ee KX JESSE M. FURMAN, United States District Judge: As stated on the record during the teleconference held earlier today, the deadline for Defendant’s opposition to Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment, see ECF No. 18, is hereby EXTENDED, nunc pro tunc, until May 8, 2025.

In addition, on top of the issues the Court shared during the teleconference, the Court notes that it is also skeptical of Plaintiff's request for injunctive relief. See ECF No. 19, at 24-25.

Plaintiff’s claim that “[t]here is no indication that Defendant will cease its unlawful conduct” is contradicted by his own declaration, which says that “after commencement of action, Defendant removed and replaced Plaintiff's Photograph from the online article posted on its Website.” ECF No. 21, 930. Plaintiff also fails to show there is a risk of irreparable harm or that monetary damages are inadequate. See, e.g., Moses v. Gundo Designs Inc., No. 23-CV-8267 (EK) (VMS), 2025 WL 959020, at *10 (S.D.N.Y Mar. 16, 2025) (citing ABKCO Music, Inc. v. Sagan, 50 F Ath 309, 322 (2d Cir. 2022)). Finally, “given that Plaintiff does not allege continuing infringement by Defendant,” his arguments regarding the balance of hardships and the public interest generally “hold less weight.” Moses, 2025 WL 959020, at *10.

SO ORDERED.
