Marriott Moves to Have Robocall Defendant Declared in Default

Defendant Dynasty Marketing Group’s “repeated failure to respond fully and completely” to discovery requests and failure to appear at a deposition warrants “the entry of default on liability,” said Marriott International in a memorandum of support for its third motion to compel discovery Friday (docket 1:21-cv-00610). Marriott is suing Dynasty and other defendants, foreign and domestic, in U.S. District Court for Eastern Virginia to thwart robocallers from stealing Marriott trademarks by impersonating Marriott telemarketers (see 2210070013). Marriott has “suffered prejudice” as a result of Dynasty’s failure to adequately respond to discovery requests, answer questions on discovery topics and attend a “properly noticed” deposition, it said. Dynasty lawyers didn’t comment Monday.
