MEMORANDUM AND ORDER

BARTELS, District Judge.

This motion is decided on remand. Plaintiff Wella Corporation appealed from this court’s denial of its contempt motion brought against defendants Wella Graphics, Inc. and Peter Minaya (collectively “Wella Graphics”) for failure to comply with a default judgment entered in an action for trademark infringement. In the only portion of plaintiffs motion still at issue, plaintiff contends that defendants violated the terms of the default judgment by adopting a name, WELLO GRAPHICS, which is confusingly similar to plaintiffs mark, WELLA.
