Defendant in Marriott Robocall Lawsuit Faces Imminent Default: Judge

Defendant Dynasty Marketing Group risks an imminent default on the issue of liability in Marriott International’s trademark lawsuit to thwart robocallers from impersonating Marriott telemarketers, said a report and recommendation (docket 1:21-cv-00610) signed Tuesday by U.S. Magistrate Judge John Anderson for Eastern Virginia in Alexandria. Dynasty’s discovery responses “remain inadequate” despite at least two Marriott motions to compel, plus the defendant failed to produce a witness for deposition and still remains without counsel weeks after its previous attorney withdrew from the case, said Anderson.
