SAN JOSE DIVISION

AUTODESK, INC.,

Plaintiff,

v.

BUYPCSOFT.COM, et al.,

Defendants.

No. C-09-2337 RMW

ORDER DENYING MOTION TO SET ASIDE

DEFAULT AND DEFAULT JUDGMENT

AND LIFTING STAY OF ENFORCEMENT

The court previously deferred ruling on defendant Tabatabayee's motion to set aside default

out of concern that the monetary judgment might be unreasonable under the circumstances. 

Tabatabayee was granted until March 19, 2010 in which to file and serve an accounting of the

Autodesk products sold by BuyPCSoft.com, to be sworn under penalty of perjury. Tabatabayee

failed to comply. His letter was sent two weeks after the March 19 deadline, was not sworn under

penalty of perjury, and was not served on plaintiff. The letter also identified only seven sales of

Autodesk products and is inconsistent with defendant's prior statements to plaintiff regarding the

number of sales. See July 21, 2009 letter from Tabatabayee (stating that he has sold only two

products) attached as Exhibit F to 10/22/09 Declaration of Handler, and July 30, 2009 letter from

Tabatabayee (stating that he has sold only five products), attached as Exhibit H to the Handler

Declaration. Moreover, the letter is also incomplete and fails to identify sales by BuyPCSoft.com

that were identified in plaintiffs' papers submitted in connection with its initial motion for default

judgment. See Docket Nos. 20-24; see also Docket No. 48. Accordingly, the court gives little

weight to Tabatabayee's March 31, 2010 letter and finds it insufficient to justify modifying the

amount of the default judgment. Accordingly, defendant Tabatabayee's motion to set aside default

and default judgment is denied. The stay of enforcement of the judgment is hereby lifted.
