`
`Before Karyn K. Ryan, Interlocutory Attorney
`Trademark Trial and Appeal Board:
`
`:
`/
`
`I asked the courts to not suspended my case. I filed on Nov. 18, 2002 in the U.S Supreme
`Court and I have heard nothing on the status of petition for writ of certiorari. I do not have a case
`number and don’t know if the Supreme Court chooses to hear my case. But as to your response
`I’m repositioning the Supreme Court with my file require a status on my case.
`,'
`i
`Ifthe court choose to suspended by case until I hear from the Supreme Court for appeal
`on petition for writ of certiorari. Will I be able to reopen my case‘? (What is the tiine frame, to
`reopen a case?)
`.5
`I thank the courts in suggesting that I hire an attorney for my case. If I had the funds to
`do so I would never have ended up with such a gross fine. I would have never been denied my
`constitutional rights for a trail by jury for Copyright infringement award of statutory damages.
`Denied the right to have any witness or no evidence was presented on my behalf.‘ I understand
`that the courts would rater deal with an attorney that is more acquainted with the technicalities of
`the procedural, but since my attorney abandon my case I have no chose but to be an Pro se. Other
`Courts have been so kind in providing a copy oftheir fees and set oftheir rules.;i But ifthe
`Trademark Office set of rules does not allow a copy ofthe set rules, or a copy (if fees to be
`mailed. Then I have no choose but to drive to Virginia to require a copy of3101.111’ rules. I’m not
`on the Internet but I will go to the library to look up my case file.
`'
`I thank the court for taking time in reviewing my case.

`the dinosaur
`Lyons Partnership, owner of the intellectual property rights
`featured in the children’s television series “Barney and! Friends," sued
`costume shop owner Pamela Henry (formerly Pamela _ Holmes) for renting and
`performing in costumes that infringed on its copyrights. The
`court defaulted
`Henryon the issue ofliability and, after a benchtrial on damages, found that Henry
`had willfully infiinged Lyons’s copyrights with respect to the characters “Barney” and
`“Baby Bop” and awarded statutory damages of $22,500 for each work as well as
`
`' Afizer an examination ofthe briefs and the record. we have concluded that oral
`argument is unnecessary. Thus, the appeal is submitted on the briefs and the record.

`
`$55,543 in attorney’s fees and $2,100 in costs- Henry appeals.
`
`Henry first challenges the district court’s decision to sanction her discovery
`misconduct by" entering a default on liability and precluding her from‘ defending
`against an award of statutory damages by introducing evidence that she was already
`using her own “purple dinosaur" costume when Lyons registered its Barney character.
`Henry's prior use, if established, Vwould have prevented Lyons fromf recovering
`statutory damages and attorney’s fees, see 17 U.S.C. § 412; Budget Cinfema, Inc. v.
`Watertower Assocs., 81 F.3d 729, 733 (7th Cir. 1996), but the district court found the
`prior use theory to be at odds with Henry’s discovery responses. Lyons’ had served
`Henrywith detailed discovery requests describing Barney as “a purple, hijghly stylized
`‘Tyrannosaurus Rex’ type dinosaur character” and requesting information on all
`potentially infringing “putative Barnef costumes, which the interrogatdry defined as
`
`any adult size character costume which may resemble, imitate or’ bear a
`likeness to Barney®, including but not limited to costumes manufactured
`by National Discount Costumes, Inc., Mask U-S., Inc., Heads Ablove the
`Rest, Inc. and Alinco Costumes, Inc. . . . “Putative Barney’ shall also refer
`to any purple, magenta, violet or similarly-colored adult-sized costume
`resembling or imitating a dinosaur, hippopotamus, dragon, . reptile,
`‘ alligator, or similar creature, andlor referred to by any name, including
`but not limited to “Purple Dino," “Purple Dinosaur,” “Hillary the] Hippo,”
`“Purple Hippo," “Dufl'y the Dragon,” “Purple Alligator,” “Dino,”i “Purple
`Gator" or “Purple Monster-”

`*
`
`’
`‘""'"'
`
`character,
`Lyons served similar requests pertaining to “Baby Bop," its green
`and included color photographs of genuine Barney and Baby Bop costumes and of
`infringing “knock—ofi” costumes.
`
`In herpro se responses to Lyons’s requests, Henry repeatedly denied ever
`_,or renting “putative Barney” or “putative Baby Bop" costumes, but in
`“supplemental” responses Henry filed nearly a year later, with the assistance of an
`attorney, she maintained that she possessed a purple dinosaur costume and a green
`‘dinosaur costume as early as 1984 but that these costumes were outside the scope of
`Lyons's requests.
`
`Lyons moved to strike the supplemental responses and for the imposition of
`sanctions, and the magistrate judge to whom the motion was referred concluded that
`sanctions were appropriate:
`
`. There is no way to characterize [Henry's] initial discovery
`.
`.
`.
`responses but “dishonest” and that dishonesty was willful—-—‘-who better

`
`than the defendant herself would know about the existence ofcostumes
`that were responsive to the requests. The only interpretation possible is
`that she was attempting to defend herself by lying to the plaintifl’. Even-
`now, she attemptsto argue that there was no lie, but the record
`much louder than her protestations. .

`can
`I find that the defendant has beenwillfully dishonest.
`conceive of no sanction less than default that will not in some fashion
`reward defendant
`for her willful misrepresentation of the ,‘ facts
`underlying this dispute, so I further find that default would"be -an
`appropriate sanction.
`
`The district court agreed and adopted the magistrate judge's recommendation, noting
`that “default is the only appropriate sanction" and_ that Henry had “willfully
`misrepresented facts to the Court and [the] Defendant.” When Lyonslater sought
`statutory damages, the court decided to preclude Henry from introducinig evidence of
`prior use because of her “past misconduct” and “willful dishonesty":
`
`Repeatedly, Defendant denied having any costume and failed to pfroduce
`any documents in response to Plaintifls discovery requests. Throughout
`this litigation Defendant asserted facts that could only lead; to the
`conclusion that use prior to registration did not exist. This Court
`not
`allow Defendant in the eleventh hour to assert that _she had such
`costumes when it is now favorable for her to do so.
`
`. . [W']here Defendant's manipulation ofdiscovery would hinder
`. .
`Plaintifls ability to prove that it is entitled to statutory damages and
`attorney fees, the Court will not allow Defendant to prevent reciovery.
`
`Henry contests both the district court's conclusion that her misconduct was
`and the court’s choice ofsanctions. She first contends that her
`discovery
`responses were the result not ofbad faith but an honest mistake; she
`that she
`misunderstood the term “putative” in Lyons’s discovery requests. But[Henry concedes
`that she knew “putative” meant “supposed,” and in any event the discovery requests
`themselves defined the term. Moreover, the district judge who heard’ testimony from
`Henry believed that she was not confused but merely dissemblingj Henry has not
`shown this conclusion to be clearly erroneous. See, e.g., In re Golant, 231 F.3d 931, 936
`(7th Cir. 2001) (district court's finding that party against whom discovery sanctions are
`imposed displayed willfulness, bad faith, or fault is reviewed for clear error). Indeed,
`her admission in her reply brief that she also has five purple hippopotamus costumes

`
`and one pink dinosaur costume seems to suggest that even her supplemental discovery
`responses failed to disclose all costumes covered by Lyons’s requests.
`W
`_
`~
`
`Henry next suggests that the sanctions were disproportionate to the prejudice
`Lyons suflered, noting that in her answer she alerted Lyons to the existence of a
`“purple dinosaur’ costume no longer in her possession and that Lyons eventually was
`able to inspect the costume in the hands of a third party. But Henry does not assert
`that Lyons’s ability to obtain discovery relating to her green dinosaur costume was
`unafiected, and we are not convinced that the district court's choice of sanction was
`fundamentally wrong. See, e.g., Johnson v. J.B. Hunt Tran.-:p., Inc., 280 F.3d 1125,
`1130-31 (7th Cir. 2002=)-(reviewing exclusion of testimony as discovery sanction for
`abuse of discretion); Golant, 239 F.3d at 937 (showing that court abused
`discretion
`in choice of sanction is an “uphill battle”).
`
`in denying
`Finally, Henry suggests that the district court abused its
`her belated oral request for a jury trial on damages. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure
`38 provides that failure to file and serve a jury demand within ten daysgafizer service
`of the last pleading constitutes a waiver of the right to a jury trial, andthe Rule
`applies equally to pro se litigants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 38(b), ((1); Members? 0. Paige, 140
`F.3d 699, 701-02 (7th Cir. 1998). Passage of the deadline gives rise to aj presumption
`against a jury trial, seeMembers, 140 F.3d at 703-04; Henry's request caine more than
`a: year and a half late, and she does not claim to have oflered the district court any
`'e3iplanation for the delay. In any event we cannot review the issue
`Henry has
`failed to provide a record ofthe telephonic status hearing during which
`motion was
`made and denied. Contrary to Henry’s suggestion, the court was not required to
`transcribe the hearing, see 28 U.S.C. § 753(b), but the absence of a transcript does not
`necessarily prevent review, see United States v. Nolan, 910 F.2d 1553,1560 (7th Cir.
`1996). Henry could have reconstructed the record of the hearing under Federal Rule
`ofAppellate Procedure 10(c) but did not, and we will not assume that the district judge
`afforded her belated jury trial request anything less than the “thoughtfiil exercise of
`required. See Members, 140 F.3d at 703.
