-i- Case No. 5:17-cv-04207-EJD
GOOGLE LLC’S NOTICE OF MOTION AND MOTION FOR DEFAULT JUDGMENT AND PERMANENT INJUNCTIVE RELIEF
NOTICE OF MOTION
TO DEFENDANTS EQUUSTEK SOLUTIONS INC., CLARMA ENTERPRISES INC.
AND ROBERT ANGUS:
PLEASE TAKE NOTICE that pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(b)(2), on
January 18, 2018 or as soon thereafter as the matter may be heard, Plaintiff Google LLC
(“Google”) shall and hereby does move the Court for a default judgment and permanent
injunction. Google’s motion will be heard at 9:00 a.m. in the courtroom of the Honorable Edward
J. Davila at the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, San Jose
Courthouse, Courtroom 4, 280 South 1st Street, San Jose, California 95113.
Having already obtained preliminary injunctive relief (Dkt. 47), Google now seeks
permanently to prohibit enforcement in the United States of the search results delisting order
obtained by Defendants Equustek Solutions Inc., Clarma Enterprises Inc., and Robert Angus
(collectively “Equustek”) from the Supreme Court of British Columbia on June 13, 2014, and
affirmed by the Supreme Court of Canada on June 28, 2017. Despite being hand-served in July
(Dkt. 17-19), Equustek has failed to respond to Google’s Complaint, oppose Google’s Motion for
Preliminary Injunctive Relief, or move to set aside the Clerk’s Entry of Default. Equustek was
also served (Dkt. 49, 52) with a copy of the Court’s November 2, 2017 preliminary injunction
order (Dkt. 47) and entry of default (Dkt. 51), but has not filed anything in response thereto or
otherwise appeared in this action. Therefore, Google respectfully requests the Court convert the
preliminary injunction into a permanent injunction and issue a final judgment.
This motion is based on this notice of motion and supporting memorandum of points and
authorities, the Complaint (Dkt. 1), the Motion for Preliminary Injunctive Relief and its supporting
declarations and exhibits (Dkt. 16), the Reply Memorandum thereto (Dkt. 36), the November 2,
2017 Order Granting Plaintiff’s Motion for Preliminary Injunctive Relief (Dkt. 47), the Clerk’s
Entry of Default (Dkt. 51), all other papers and pleadings on file in this action, and all such further
written materials and oral arguments as may be presented to the Court.
