(Documents #12 and #15)

This is a civil action for copyright infringement. Defendant has not responded to the

complaint. On August 9, 2006, the Clerk of the Court entered default against Defendant. On

December 1, 2006, the Magistrate Judge issued Findings and Recommendations that

recommended the court grant Plaintiffs application for default judgment. The Findings and

Recommendations gave notice that any party could file objections within ten days. No objections

have been filed.

In accordance with the provisions of 28 U.S.C. § 636 (b)(1)C) this court has conducted a 

de novo review of this case. See Britt v. Simi Valley Unified School Dist., 708 F.2d 452, 454

(9 Cir. 1983). Having reviewed the entire file, the court finds the Findings and th

Recommendations to be supported by the record and by proper analysis.
