IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

DIRECTV, INC.,

Plaintiff.

 v.

CAREY MANSON, 

Defendant. _______________________________________

No. C 03-2147 SBA

 

ORDER

[Docket Nos. 38, 39, 42]

This matter is before the Court on Magistrate Judge Larson's Report and Recommendation

re: Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment Against Defendant Manson [Docket No. 42]. No

objections to the report have been filed. 

Having considered Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment, the Magistrate Judge's report, and

the recommendations therein, and for good cause appearing, this Court hereby ADOPTS Magistrate

Judge Larson's Report and Recommendation re: Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment Against

Defendant Manson. The Court finds that default judgment is properly entered against Defendant

Manson pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55. The Court also finds that Plaintiff's complaint

entitles Plaintiff to recover damages for Defendant's violation of 47 U.S.C. § 605(a), and that, pursuant

to 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(C)(i)(II), Plaintiff may be awarded statutory damages in the range of $1,000

to $10,000 for each violation of 47 U.S.C. § 605(a). The Court concurs with Magistrate Judge Larson

that, in this instance, an award of statutory damages in the amount of $1,000 is appropriate. The Court

also finds that Plaintiff has proven that it is entitled to recover attorney's fees in the amount of $1,641.67

pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 605(e)(3)(B). 

Accordingly, 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT Magistrate Judge Larson's Report and Recommendation re:
