Defendant. ________________________________ ./

CASE NO.: 14-CA-8902

DIVISION: B

ORDER APPROVING STIPULATED MOTION FOR PERMANENT INJUNCTION AND REJECTING STIPULATED FINAL CONSENT JUDGMENT

THIS CAUSE is before the Court on the parties' Stipulated Motion for Entry of Consent

Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction, filed September 30, 2014. After reviewing the

Motion, the court file, and record, the Court finds that it must REJECT the Motion in part as to

the Consent Final Judgment, but GRANT the parties' agreed upon consent for entry of a

Permanent Injunction. The Court finds that the Consent Final Judgment awards damages in the

amount of over ten million dollar against the Defendant; however, these damages are not

supported by any competent evidence presented to this Court to date.

The Court finds that Defendant is proceeding pro se, and in that capacity, admitted via

his telephone appearance at the September 30, 2014, hearing that he "skimmed" the Motion and

Consent Final Judgment and Permanent Injunction, and that he simply "wanted this to go away."

He volunteered that after hearing from the Plaintiff in the prior hearing he had no problem in

refraining from posting online criticisms of Plaintiff, and that in fact he had not posted anything

negative regarding Plaintiff for over 48 hours. Accordingly, the Court accepts Defendant's

1 of2

consent to this injunction, but notes that absent such agreement, the Court would not be

authorized under the law to compel such a broad based injunctive relief.

The Court has a duty to administer justice and cannot, in good conscience, rubber stamp

that portion of the motion for Consent Final Judgment at this time, absent an evidentiary hearing

and proof of entitlement to such damages.

It is therefore ORDERED AND ADJUDGED that the Stipulated Motion for Entry of

Consent Final Judgment is hereby REJECTED in part; the parties consent to issuance of a

Permanent Injunction is GRANTED.
