MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received a "Notice of Dismissal" which seeks to dismiss defendants No. 169 KingPlusField, No. 2 wc Fashion office, No. 8 Fantastic Art Home Dcor, and No. 129 Mood Art Deco Firm without prejudice. This case is closed, however, as default judgment has already been entered against every defendant remaining in the case 39, 40. Moreover, defendants No. 169 KingPlusField, No. 2 wc Fashion office, No. 8 Fantastic Art Home Dcor, and No. 129 Mood Art Deco Firm were already dismissed from this case earlier in the proceedings 38 and were not subject to the court's default judgment order 40. 翻译 |

ORDER: No defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 23. The motion is granted. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order and the motion for entry of default and default judgment, and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that the infringement was willful, that damages should be awarded in the amount of $100,000 per defendant, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of plaintiff's copyrights causes plaintiff irreparable harm in the form of diminished goodwill and brand confidence, damage to plaintiff's reputation, loss of exclusivity, and loss of future sales; that monetary damages are inadequate to address these harms; and that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction. No defendant has appeared to argue otherwise. Thus, the court also finds that the balance of the hardships favors an injunction. The ten thousand dollars ($10,000) surety bond posted by plaintiff is hereby released to plaintiff's counsel. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the surety bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to plaintiff's counsel Keith Vogt Ltd., 33 West Jackson Boulevard, #2W, Chicago, IL 60604, via certified mail. Enter Final Judgment Order. Terminate civil case Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 12/15/2023. Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notices of voluntary dismissal 35, 36, which seek to voluntarily dismiss defendants No. 2 wc Fashion office, No. 8 Fantastic Art Home Dcor, No. 61 DUSISI US, No. 63 IZI POD SHOP, No. 107 AZ GARMENT MTV COMPANY LIMITED, No. 129 Mood Art Deco Firm, and No. 169 KingPlusField under Rule 41(a)(1). But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notices of voluntary dismissal as requests for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by removing defendants No. 2 wc Fashion office, No. 8 Fantastic Art Home Dcor, No. 61 DUSISI US, No. 63 IZI POD SHOP, No. 107 AZ GARMENT MTV COMPANY LIMITED, No. 129 Mood Art Deco Firm, and No. 169 KingPlusField from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. The amended Schedule A form by is already on the docket 37. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal [29], which seeks to voluntarily dismiss defendant 170 RugRose under Rule 41(a)(1). But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by removing defendant 170 RugRose from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal 25, which seeks to voluntarily dismiss certain defendants under Rule 41(a)(1). But Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal 25 as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by dropping the listed defendants. By 12/7/2023, plaintiff should file an amended Schedule A on the docket. Plaintiff should also submit a revised proposed order on plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction 19. 翻译 |

SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 10/19/2023: 翻译 |
| 15 |
10/19/2023
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in the motions 10, 11, 12 filed by plaintiff Laurie Prindle, the supporting memoranda 13 and the temporary restraining order, plaintiff's motions for leave to file certain documents under seal 10, for leave to file excess pages 11, and for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and electronic service of process 12 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 defendants, 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 the offering of products for 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 defendants. As other judges in this district have noted, there may be reason to question both the propriety of the joinder of all defendants in this one action and whether plaintiff genuinely intends to pursue an accounting, but at this preliminary stage, plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence of coordinated activity and the prospect of an accounting to justify the requested relief as to all defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. If any defendant appears and objects, the court will revisit the asset freeze and joinder. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. 翻译 |
