O R D E R

Now on this 19th day of April, 2007, comes on for

consideration Plaintiff's Motion For Partial Summary Judgment On

The Issue Of Who Took The Photographs (document #57). 

Plaintiff Erick Blair d/b/a Fotopixels ("Blair") alleges that

the defendants are liable to him for copyright infringement

relating to the use of various photographic images taken by Blair.

Blair submits with the pending motion an Affidavit in which he

avers that he took all of the images attached as exhibits to the

Complaint. Defendants have not opposed the Motion, and in fact

concede in document #105 that Blair took the images attached to

the Complaint. 

The Court, therefore, finds that Plaintiff's Motion For

Partial Summary Judgment On The Issue Of Who Took The Photographs

(document #57) should be, and same hereby is, granted. It will be

taken as an established fact for all future purposes in this case

that plaintiff Erick Blair took all of the photographic images
