SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado on 10/5/2023.Mailed notice. 翻译 |

10/05/2023

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: For the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the temporary restraining order, Plaintiff's motions for electronic service of process and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery 10, are granted. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, were Defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, it is likely assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating Plaintiff's interests in identifying the individuals and entities operating Defendant online seller, stopping Defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by Plaintiff shows a substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and a sale into Illinois), the harm to Plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to Defendant. See, e.g., Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A," No. 20-CV-05049, 2021 WL 2894166, at *5 (N.D. Ill. July 9, 2021) (finding electronic service proper in similar circumstances). Expedited discovery is warranted to identify Defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: In response to this Court's order 20 for a supplemental brief regarding the propriety of joinder in this case, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint 21 and amended Schedule A 22. Plaintiff's initial Schedule A list of defendants contained 150 defendants and their amended Schedule A now contains four defendants. The relevant screenshots pertaining to these four defendants, however, are currently buried in over 1,000 pages of screenshots in Plaintiff's Exhibit 3. (Dkts. 12 18.) By 9/13/23, Plaintiff must file an amended Exhibit 3 containing only the relevant information for the four defendants on its amended Schedule A. Plaintiff may file its amended Exhibit 3 under seal. 翻译 |

The Court also grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 9. Plaintiff may file its motion for a temporary restraining order that does not exceed 31-pages. Before the Court can rule on Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 10, the Court orders Plaintiffs to file a brief addressing the propriety of joinder of all defendants on or before 7/12/2023. See Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020); Art Ask Agency v. Individuals, Corps., Ltd. Liab. Cos., P'ships, and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 21-CV-06197, 2021 WL 5493226 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2021). Plaintiff's brief must refer to specific facts alleged in this case. For example, Plaintiff shall provide citations to specific screenshots associated with specified Schedule A defendants to demonstrate that joinder is proper. 翻译 |
