ORDER

Plaintiff Whirlpool Corporation previously filed two motions: (1) the Motion for Default Judgment and Permanent Injunction Against Defendants Middle Bridge Ltd.; Ningbo Pureza Technology, LLC; Meledo Company Limited; and Mt. Purity (Dkt. No. 19) and (2) the Motion for Default Judgment and Permanent Injunction Against Chatr Technology, LLC; Liam’s Little Shop of Filters; YiHangGou Trading Co; and Da Touxiang Technology Co., Ltd. (Dkt. No. 35) (collectively, the “Motions”). Magistrate Judge Payne entered a Report and Recommendation (Dkt. No. 39), recommending entry of default judgment containing a permanent injunction against all Defendants. Because no objections have been filed and because of the reasons set forth in the Report and Recommendation, after de novo review, the Report and Recommendation is ADOPTED. It is therefore ORDERED that the Plaintiff’s Motions (Dkt. Nos. 19, 35) are GRANTED. The permanent injunction as set forth in the Report and Recommendation will be entered.

So ORDERED and SIGNED this 22nd day of December, 2021.
