Order Adopting Report and Recommendation [Doc. 58] and Granting Mayweather's Amended Motion for Default Judgment [Doc. 46]

JENNIFER A. DORSEY, District Judge.

Plaintiff Floyd Mayweather filed an Amended Motion for Default Judgment against remaining defendants 2nd To None Entertainment and The Wine Bistro in this case,1 in which he seeks (1) statutory damages under NRS § 597.810; (2) an award of reasonable attorney's fees and costs; and (3) an order permanently enjoining defendants from "using Plaintiff's name, likeness, or persona without authorization." Doc. 46 at 14-16. The matter was referred to U.S. Magistrate Judge Cam Ferenbach for findings and recommendations. After conducting an evidentiary hearing, Judge Ferenbach issued a detailed, 18-page evaluation of Mayweather's motion, which recommended granting the request for a default judgment against both remaining defendants; awarding Mayweather statutory damages of $2,250—treble the statutory minimum—under NRS § 597.810; awarding Mayweather attorney fees of $17,408.48 and costs of $1,084; and permanently enjoining The Wine Bistro and 2nd To None Entertainment, their "officers, agents, servants, employees, and attorneys, and other persons who are in active concert and participation with" them, "from using Plaintiff's name and likeness for commercial gain." Doc. 58 at 16-17. Additionally, as all other defendants had been previously dismissed from the case, Judge Ferenbach recommends entering a final judgment against The Wine Bistro and 2nd To None Entertainment. Id. at 17.

Judge Ferenbach issued his report and recommendation on November 17, 2014. Objections were due December 2, 2014. No objections have been filed. "[N]o review is required of a magistrate judge's report and recommendation unless objections are filed."2

Accordingly, and with good cause appearing,

It is HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Ferenbach's report and recommendation [Doc. 58] is ADOPTED.

It is FURTHER ORDERED that Mayweather's Amended Motion for Default Judgment [Doc. 46] is GRANTED.
