Background
On April 9, 2025, the court extended F151 Ventures, LLC’s deadline to oppose Steven Hirsch Incorporated’s motion for default judgment until May 8, 2025. The order states that F151 Ventures had not appeared and had not filed an opposition as of May 21, 2025.
Proposed Relief
The court stated that it was prepared to enter judgment for Steven Hirsch Incorporated, modified in light of concerns raised during an April 8 conference and in the court’s April 9 order. The court was inclined to award:
- $1,000 in damages; - $460 in costs; and - $2,300 in attorneys’ fees.
The proposed fee amount was based on hourly rates and hours for Craig Sanders, Johnathan Cader, Dina Nouhian, and Julie Busch, as described in the order. The court also stated that it would decline to issue an injunction.
Objections and Disposition
The court ordered that any objection to this plan by Steven Hirsch Incorporated, or by F151 Ventures after its counsel entered an appearance, had to be filed by May 28, 2025. If no objection was filed by that date, the court said it would enter judgment consistent with the order without further notice. The opinion is therefore an order describing the court’s proposed default judgment; it does not state that the final judgment had already been entered.
