IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIRECTV, INC.,

Plaintiff,

 v.

JONATHAN DUMMER,

Defendant.

 /

No. C 03-04144 CRB

ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO

ENTER DEFAULT JUDGMENT

Now before the Court is plaintiff’s motion for default judgment. The complaint in

this action alleges that defendant purchased from White Viper a “programmer primarily

designed to illegally modify DirecTV Access Cards” and a “SU2 Chip Upgrade.” According

to DirecTV’s experts, the sole use of the SU2 program was to reprogram DirecTV access

cards in order to circumvent DirecTV’s satellite television encryption. Therefore, the

allegations in the complaint, which are deemed true on default, create a strong inference that

defendant used these devices to illegally intercept DirecTV’s programming. For this reason,

and for the reasons stated by this Court in its Memorandum and Order Granting Motion to

Enter Default Judgment in DirecTV, Inc. v. Huynh, No. 04-3496 CRB (N.D. Cal. May 31,

2005), the Court finds the allegations in the complaint sufficient to support entry of default

judgment and an award of damages in the amount of $10,000. Plaintiff is also awarded

attorneys’ fees and costs in the amount of $2,000.
