JAMES T. TRIMBLE, JR., District Judge.

Upon consideration of Plaintiff's Motion for Final Default Judgment, the accompanying Memorandum of Points and Authorities in Support thereof and evidence, the pleadings on file and the relevant authorities, the Court concludes that Plaintiff has established that it is an aggrieved party under the Federal Communications Act, 47 U.S.C. §§ 553 and 605 and recognizes Plaintiff's election to seek statutory damages.

The Court also concludes that it has jurisdiction over the subject matter and parties to this action; that Defendant, Alfred Eugene Wallace had to answer or otherwise defend as provided by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure following proper service; that the allegations in Plaintiff's Original Complaint are deemed admitted against Defendant; that Defendant exhibited the closed circuit, "Ultimate Fighting Championship® 183: Silva v.
