ORDER FOLLOWING HEARING ON

PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR DEFAULT

JUDGMENT

On September 13, 2007, Plaintiff filed this action against Defendant Felix Ose Osifo, an

individual and doing business as Osifo Hip Hop Clothing for trademark infringement, trademark

dilution and unfair competition. After entry of default on October 29, 2007, Plaintiff filed a motion

for default judgment, which was referred to the undersigned Magistrate Judge pursuant to Civil

Local Rule 72-1. The motion came on for hearing on January 8, 2008. Attorney Annie Wang

appeared for Plaintiff. Defendant Felix Osifo appeared at the hearing.

At the hearing, the Court informed Defendant that a clerk’s default had been entered against

him on October 29, 2007 and that he needed to seek relief from that default if he intended to defend

this case. The Court encourages Defendant to obtain legal representation, but informs him that the

Court offers a free Handbook for litigants proceeding without a lawyer that may assist him in this

case. This Handbook is available on-line from the Court’s website (www.cand.uscourts.gov) or in

person from the Clerk’s Office on the 16th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco.

Because Defendant has appeared and expressed his intent to defend this action, the Court

ordered the parties to meet and confer immediately after the hearing regarding resolution of this

matter. Defendant claims that he did not receive a copy of Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment,

so the Court provided him with a copy. Defendant shall respond to the motion no later than January

22, 2008. Plaintiff may reply no later than January 29, 2008. Hearing on the motion for default

judgment is re-scheduled for February 12, 2008. Plaintiff shall serve a copy of this Order on

Defendant at the address he provided in open court. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
