THOMAS G. WILSON, United States Magistrate Judge.
The plaintiff seeks damages for copyright infringement, misappropriation of her image, defamation, and intentional infliction of emotional distress arising from the defendants’ unauthorized use of her photograph on the packaging of their pornographic movie DVD “Body Magic” (Doc. 121).
