UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
EASTERN DISTRICT OF LOUISIANA
GLENN DAMOND 	CIVIL ACTION
VERSUS 	NO. 25-1570
EXPERIAN INFORMATION SOLUTIONS,
INC., ET AL.
SECTION “O”
ORDER AND REASONS
Plaintiff Glenn Damond filed this pro se action against Experian Information
Solutions, Inc. (“Experian”), TransUnion LLC (“TransUnion”), Equifax Information
Services LLC (“Equifax”), and CSC Lawyers Incorporating Services (“CSC”) on July
30, 2025, asserting violations of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and Lanham Act as
well as state law claims seeking billions of dollars in damages and injunctive relief.1
On November 18, 2025, the Court referred2 several pending motions to
Magistrate Judge Donna Phillips Currault and referred3 an additional motion on
December 1, 2025. On December 12, 2025, Judge Currault issued a Report and
Recommendation4 (“R&R”) recommending that the Rule 12(b)(6) motion to dismiss
filed by Defendants Equifax and TransUnion and adopted by Experian be granted in
part; Plaintiff’s motion for default judgment as to CSC be denied; Plaintiff’s motion
for leave to file an amended complaint be denied without prejudice; CSC’s motion to
1 See generally ECF No. 1 (Complaint).
2 See ECF No. 38 (referring ECF Nos. 13, 27, 29, 31, and 37).
3 See ECF No. 42 (referring ECF No. 39).
4 ECF No. 44.

set aside default be granted; Plaintiff’s motion to strike be denied; and CSC’s motion
to dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(2) be granted.
On December 18, 2025, Plaintiff Glenn Damond filed objections 5 to Magistrate
Judge Currault’s R&R. The Court applies a de novo review to the parts of the R&R to
which he objects. 28 U.S.C. § 636(b)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 72(b)(3); see also Hernandez v.
Estelle, 711 F.2d 619, 620 (5th Cir. 1983) (holding that de novo determination requires
“the district court to arrive at its own, independent conclusion about those portions
of the magistrate’s report to which objection is made[, which] is not satisfied by a
mere review of the magistrate’s report itself”). Any portion of the R&R to which
Damond did not object is reviewed for clear error. Douglass v. United Servs. Auto.
Ass’n, 79 F.3d 1415, 1430 (5th Cir. 1996).
Having conducted a thorough review of Plaintiff’s complaint, the briefing for
all motions submitted by the parties, the applicable law, the Magistrate Judge’s R&R,
and Plaintiff’s objections, the Court concludes the R&R should be adopted because
Defendants’ objections to the R&R are without merit. The Court hereby approves the
R&R and adopts it as its opinion in this matter.
Accordingly,
IT IS ORDERED that Defendants’ objections 6 to the Magistrate Judge’s
Report and Recommendation are OVERRULED. The Magistrate Judge’s Report
and Recommendation7 is ADOPTED.
