IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF TEXAS

MARSHALL DIVISION

MUSIC CHOICE, §

v. §

§ Case No. 2:16-CV-00586-JRG-RSP STINGRAY DIGITAL INC. (f/k/a § STINGRAY DIGITAL GROUP INC.) § and STINGRAY MUSIC USA, INC., §

§

Defendants. §

ORDER

The Magistrate Judge previously entered his Report and Recommendation (“Report”) (Dkt. No. 271), which recommended denial of Defendants Stingray Digital Inc. (f/k/a/ Stingray Digital Group Inc.) and Stingray Music USA, Inc.’s (“Defendants”) Motion for Summary Judgment of Estoppel as to Claims 10 and 15 of U.S. Patent No. 9,357,245 (“Motion”). (Dkt. No. 193). Defendants have now filed an Objection to that Report. (Dkt. No. 286).

After de novo consideration of the briefing on Defendants’ Motion, the Report, and Defendants’ Objection to the Report, the Court concludes that the objections are without sufficient merit. For that reason and the other reasons stated within the Report, the Court agrees with the conclusion reached within the Report. The Magistrate Judge’s Recommendation is therefore ADOPTED.
