CLERK'S JUDGMENT re: 39 Memorandum & Opinion in favor of D86E06D against 68ECAE1. It is hereby ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED: That for the reasons stated in the Court's Opinion and Order dated February 3, 2020, D86E06D motion to dismiss is GRANTED. Although 68ECAE1 has not requested leave to amend the Complaint, the Court notes that leave to amend would be futile. The Court's analysis above is principally based on its review of the two works at issue and the context in which they were posted, rather than any allegations that may be refined in amended pleadings. Thus, the dismissal is with prejudice; accordingly, the case is closed. (Signed by Clerk of Court Ruby Krajick on 2/3/2020) (Attachments: # 1 Right to Appeal) (km)

ENDORSEMENT: As Defendant appears willing to waive service, his date to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint would be 90 days after the receipt of a Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(d) request to waive service. Defendant's waiver of service would seem to moot Plaintiff's Rule 4(f) motion for email service. However, if Plaintiff would like to respond to Defendant's letter or the Court's order, she shall do so no later than December 11, 2017. So ordered. (Signed by Judge Richard J.
