ORDER REVIVING FINAL JUDGMENT

ROBERT E. BLACKBURN, District Judge.

This matter is before me on the Motion To Revive Final Judgment on Consent [#15]1 filed June 18, 2014. The motion is granted, and the Final Judgment on Consent [#13] is revived.

On August 1, 2008, the court entered a Final Judgment on Consent [#13]. Among other things, the judgment requires the defendants to make certain payments to the plaintiffs. The defendants have failed to make certain required payments as required by the judgment and still owe a balance to the plaintiffs. The plaintiffs seek to revive the judgment in order to maintain a valid judgment lien against property of the defendants.

On March 10, 2015, the court entered an order [#18] requiring the defendants to show cause in writing why the judgment in this case should not be revived. To date, the defendants have filed no response to the order to show cause. Colorado law determines the duration of both judgments and judgment liens. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 69(a)(1) ("[t]he procedure on execution [on a money judgment]—and in proceedings supplementary to and in aid of judgment or execution—must accord with the procedure of the state where the court is located, but a federal statute governs to the extent it applies."); 28 U.S.C. § 1962 ("Every judgment rendered by a district court within a State shall be a lien on the property located in such State in the same manner, to the same extent and under the same conditions as a judgment of a court of general jurisdiction in such State, and shall cease to be a lien in the same manner and time.").

C.R.C.P. 54(h) provides the procedures for reviving a judgment. The procedures and requirements for revival of the judgment in this case have been satisfied. Thus, I order that the Final Judgment on Consent [#13] be revived.

THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED as follows:

1. That the revival of judgment requested in the Motion To Revive Final Judgment on Consent [#15] filed June 18, 2014, is granted; and

2. That under C.R.C.P. 54, the Final Judgment on Consent [#13] filed August 1, 2008, attached to this order as Exhibit A, is revived.

FINAL JUDGMENT ON CONSENT

Whereas the Complaint in the above-captioned action was filed on June 6, 2008, and the Defendants, Canas Enterprises, Inc. and Fernando Canas (collectively "Defendants"), were each properly served with the Summons and Complaint.

Now, therefore, the parties having agreed that the Court may find: (1) that Plaintiffs were, on the dates alleged on Schedule A to the complaint, the respective owners of valid copyrights in the three songs listed on Schedule A to the complaint; (2) that Plaintiffs' songs were performed publicly at Defendants' establishment known as Patricia's Mexican Restaurant, located at 217 First Street, in Fort Lupton, Colorado (the "Establishment") on November 30, 2007, without permission of the Plaintiffs or license from their performing rights licensing organization, the American Society of Composers, Authors and Publishers ("ASCAP") (collectively, the "Infringing Activity"); (3) that at all relevant times, Canas Enterprises, Inc. owned and operated the Establishment in Fort Lupton, Colorado; (4) that at all relevant times, Defendant Fernando Canas (i) was President of Canas Enterprises, Inc., (ii) had the right and ability to supervise the Infringing Activity, (iii) and had a direct financial interest derived from the Infringing Activity; (5) that such performances of Plaintiffs' songs were infringements of Plaintiffs' copyrights; and (6) that there is a danger that such infringing conduct will continue thereby causing irreparable injury to Plaintiffs for which damages cannot be accurately computed, and necessitating the granting of injunctive relief against Defendants' continued infringing conduct.

The Court having hereby adopted the foregoing findings and the parties having further agreed that the Court may enter judgment on the foregoing findings, it is therefore

ORDERED, ADJUDGED, AND DECREED:

1. Defendants are jointly and severally enjoined and restrained permanently from publicly performing any and all of the copyrighted musical compositions in the ASCAP repertory at the Establishment and from causing or permitting copyrighted musical compositions in the ASCAP repertory to be publicly performed at the Establishment, or any other facility owned and controlled by Defendants, and from aiding and abetting public performances of such compositions, unless defendants shall have previously obtained permission to give such performances either directly from the copyright owners or by license with ASCAP.

2. Plaintiffs shall recover of and from Defendants damages in the amount of $15,000 (the "Judgment Amount") provided, however, that the judgment may be satisfied upon the payment of $11,000 (the "Settlement Amount") in accordance with the payment schedule set forth below. Said payments shall be paid to ASCAP at its office at 2675 Paces Ferry Road, SE, Suite 350, Atlanta, GA 30339, Attention: Doug Jones as follows:

3. All payments to be made by Defendants pursuant to paragraph 2 above shall be delivered so that they arrive no later than the due dates set forth in paragraph 2 above.

4. Contemporaneously with the execution of this Consent Judgment, ASCAP shall offer, and Defendants shall accept and execute, an ASCAP General License Agreement for the Establishment for the term commencing January 1, 2008 at the current annual rate of $1,049.75 (the "License Agreement"). and for each subsequent year at the then applicable rate provided that Defendants own and/or operate the Establishment in whole or in part and music is publicly performed at the Establishment. Defendants agree that they will comply with all of the terms and conditions of such License Agreement, including the timely payment of any and all license fees due thereunder. The 2008 license fee for the Establishment is included in the Settlement Amount; license fees for periods beginning January 1, 2009 are separately payable as provided in the ASCAP License provided that Defendants own and/or operate the Establishment in whole or in part and music is publicly performed at the Establishment.

5. Upon timely receipt of the amounts owed pursuant to paragraphs 2 and 3 above, (a) Defendants shall be deemed to have paid to ASCAP all license fees owed for the Establishment through December 31, 2008, and an additional sum representing damages and legal expenses incurred by ASCAP on behalf of the Plaintiffs in the prosecution of this action; provided that in no event or circumstance shall ASCAP owe any reimbursement of, or be obligated to return, any portion of the Settlement Amount; and (b) Plaintiffs shall thereupon cause to be filed a satisfaction of this Consent Judgment.

6. In the event that Defendants shall default in making any payments provided for in paragraphs 2 and 3 above; or in the event that any of Defendants' checks tendered in payment of the Settlement Amount are dishonored by Defendants' bank for any reason (including, but not limited to, insufficient funds); or in the event that Defendants' file for bankruptcy; or in the event Defendants fail to comply with their obligations under this Consent Judgment; or in the event that Defendants fail to give notice to ASCAP as required by paragraph 7 below; then on ten (10) calendar days notice of such default or other event, and provided such default is not cured within the ten-day period, the Judgment Amount, plus statutory interest accruing from the date of entry of this Consent Judgment, less any payments made by Defendants pursuant to paragraph 3 above, shall become due; and Plaintiffs may pursue all remedies provided by law to collect such amount then owed.

7. In the event that either or both of said Defendants shall enter into or execute a contract for the sale, transfer, or assignment of the Establishment, or its liquor license, during the term of this consent judgment, said Defendant or Defendants shall within ten (10) calendar days of executing or entering into such contract(s) give notice to ASCAP of said pending contract(s) and shall, in advance of such sale, transfer or assignment, cause arrangements to be made for the payment of any balance then owed pursuant to the terms of this Consent Judgment not later than the closing of such sale, transfer or assignment. To the extent Defendants (either collectively or individually) are currently operating any other establishment(s) that is/are publicly performing music without a license from ASCAP, Defendants shall promptly notify ASCAP and obtain a license or licenses with ASCAP.

8. Any notice required by Paragraph 7 above shall be sent to ASCAP, by regular first class mail, addressed as set forth in Paragraph 2 above with a courtesy copy to its attorneys, James E. Hartley, Esq. and Conor F. Farley, Esq. of Holland & Hart at P.O. Box 8749, Denver, CO 80201-9749.
