Opinion:
MEMORANDUM
Fred and Kathy Benz appeal pro se from the district court's default judgment in this action alleging trademark infringement, copyright infringement, and related claims. We have jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1291. We review de novo the issue of whether a party has waived a defense, Owens v. Kaiser Found. Health Plan, Inc., 244 F.3d 708, 713 (9th Cir.2001), and we affirm.
The district court properly concluded that the Benzes waived their defense of insufficient service of process based on their litigation conduct. See Peterson v. Highland Music, Inc., 140 F.3d 1313, 1317-18 (9th Cir.1998) (defenses, such as lack of personal jurisdiction, may be waived as a result of a party's litigation conduct, including when the party raises the defense but does not pursue it further until an adverse decision on the merits).
The Benzes' remaining contentions are unavailing.
AFFIRMED.
This disposition is not appropriate for publication and is not precedent except as provided by 9th Cir. R. 36-3.
