Defendants.

Case No. C-13-01619-RMW

FINAL JUDGMENT

On November 13, 2013, the court adopted the Report and Recommendation of the magistrate 

judge, entered default judgment, but deferred awarding damages until the court could hold an 

evidentiary hearing. Dkt. No. 29. On December 13, 2013, the court held an evidentiary hearing to 

determine damages. 

The court may award statutory damages up to $10,000 for the violation of 47 U.S.C. 

§ 605(a). 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(C). In addition, 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(B)(iii) states that the court 

“shall direct the recovery of full costs, including awarding reasonable attorneys’ fees to an 

aggrieved party who prevails.” The court finds an award to plaintiff DirecTV of $7,500 in statutory 

damages under 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(C) and $5,341 in attorneys’ fees and costs. The court declines 

to award enhanced damages for willfulness under 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(C)(ii).
