DEFAULT FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 2/11/2025. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |
| 53 |
02/07/2025
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [43] is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by Plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, Plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of Plaintiff's marks irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. Because this infringement was willful and considering the value of Plaintiff's brand as well as the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $1,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against each remaining defendant. Plaintiff must submit a draft order consistent with the default judgment order template on the Court's webpage to proposed_order_hunt@ilnd.uscourts.gov by 2/10/25. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment [43] against the remaining defendants identified in Amended Schedule A [17-3]. All remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default against all defendants on Amended Schedule A is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment by the defaulted Defendants must be filed on or before 1/21/25. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining affected Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. No appearance is necessary on 1/21/25. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |

ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/27/2024: Mailed notice. 翻译 |

Hunt: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's status report [40], which states that all Defendants have been served, settlement negotiations have stalled, and the deadline for all but two Defendants to respond to the Complaint is 12/27/24 (Defendants Hunan Double Bulls Gifts Co., Ltd.'s and Kunshan Pinstar Gifts Co., Ltd.'s deadline is 12/18/24). Accordingly, by 1/10/25, Plaintiff is ordered to file any motions for entry of default pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a). If there are any remaining defendants against whom default and default judgment are not being sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file by the same date a status report identifying each defendant against whom this case is proceeding and state whether the parties anticipate a settlement or further litigation.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for electronic service [33] is granted. Plaintiff may provide notice of the proceedings in this case to Defendants, including service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3), and any future motions, by electronically publishing a link to the First Amended Complaint [17], this Order, and other relevant documents on a website and by sending an e-mail with a link to said website to the e-mail addresses provided for Defendants by third parties. The Clerk of the Court is directed to issue a single original summons in the name of "Guangzhou Baiyun District Helong Chicheng Auto Parts Business Firm and all other Defendants identified in the Complaint" that shall apply to all Defendants. The combination of providing notice via electronic publication and e-mail, along with any notice that Defendants receive from payment processors, shall constitute notice reasonably calculated under all circumstances to apprise Defendants of the pendency of the action and afford them the opportunity to present their objections. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with these online marketplace defendants. The continued telephonic status hearing [32] and presentment hearing [34] set for 11/21/24 are stricken; no appearance is necessary on 11/21/24. Plaintiff is directed to file a status report regarding the status of service and next steps by 11/25/24. Emailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Request for Extension to File Motions for Entry of Default and Default Judgment [30] was not accompanied by the required notice of presentment and is therefore summarily stricken. Furthermore, the Court has never entered an order setting a November 1, 2024 deadline for seeking default, so it is unclear why Plaintiff states that in the motion. Emailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: On 5/17/24, Plaintiff filed an anonymous complaint [1] and sealed exhibits [2], [3], [4], without an accompanying motion seeking leave to do so. On 5/24/24, the Court entered an order [9] directing the Clerk's office to unseal the filings, granting Plaintiff until 6/7/24 to file an amended complaint identifying itself, and warning Plaintiff that failure to do so may result in dismissal for want of prosecution. Instead of complying with the Court's order, Plaintiff then filed a motion for leave to proceed anonymously and file documents under seal [10], an ex parte TRO motion [11], and a motion for electronic service [13]. On 6/3/24, the Court entered an order [15] denying Plaintiff's motions [10], [11], [13], allowing Plaintiff to renew the TRO and electronic service motions once Plaintiff appropriately disclosed its identity, directing the Clerk's office to unseal certain filings, and warning Plaintiff that the complaint likely fails to satisfy joinder requirements and should have been stricken for still being anonymous (citing XYZ Corp. v. Partnership and Unincorporated Ass'n on Schedule A, No. 20-cv-6610, 2020 WL 6681360 at *1 (N.D.Ill. Nov. 12, 2020) (striking Plaintiff's complaint filed anonymously without leave of court because "[n]o-name litigation is the rare exception, not the Rule."))there has been no docket activity since this order. Accordingly, the Court strikes Plaintiff's complaint [1] and directs Plaintiff to show cause why this action should not be dismissed for want of prosecution and failure to comply with court orders by 6/28/24. Failure to comply with this order will result in dismissal with prejudice. Finally, the Clerk's office is directed forthwith to unseal the documents at [2], [3], [4], and [12], as previously ordered. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Under Seal and to Proceed Anonymously [10] is denied. First, as the Court explained in its prior order [9], and the Seventh Circuit recently reaffirmed, "[t]he norm in federal litigation is that all parties' names are public." Doe v. Trustees of Indiana Univ., No. 22-1576, 2024 WL 1824967 at *3, (7th Cir. Apr. 26, 2024). Plaintiff has not shown that the "balance of harms justifies" anonymity here. Id. at *4. See also XYZ Corp. v. Partnership and Unincorporated Ass'n on Schedule A, No. 20-cv-6610, 2020 WL 6681360 at *1 (N.D.Ill. Nov. 12, 2020) (striking Plaintiff's complaint filed anonymously without leave of court because "[n]o-name litigation is the rare exception, not the Rule."). Second, Plaintiff's excuse that he could not comply with Local Rule 26.2 and file a motion to seal these documents due to the Court's hearing schedule is disingenuous. Local Rule 26.2(c) requires a sealing motion to be filed "before or simultaneously with the provisional filing of the document under seal," not whenever counsel deems it convenient. At this point, although the anonymous complaint was filed on 5/17/24 and should have been stricken, the Court generously gave plaintiff until 6/7/24 [9] to file an amended complaint along with a proper civil cover sheet [5] identifying itself. Instead, Plaintiff has proceeded to file more documents under seal [12] without properly disclosing its identity. As such, the Court's prior unsealing order stands, and the documents filed at [2][3][4] shall be unsealed; the Clerk is further directed to unseal the document filed at [12]. Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion for Expedited Discovery [11] and Motion for Electronic Service of Process Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) [13] are denied without prejudice to renewal once Plaintiff has appropriately disclosed its identity. No appearance is necessary on 6/4/24. Finally, the Court expresses serious doubt about whether joinder of 142 Defendants in this action is appropriate here and directs Plaintiff's counsel to review the relevant case law on this point and consider filing an amended Schedule A with a significantly smaller subset of Defendants that meet the requirements under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2). 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); Bose Corp. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 334 F.R.D. 511 (N.D. Ill. 2020). Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: On May 17, 2024, Plaintiff filed a complaint [1] anonymously and exhibits thereto (trademark certificate [2], screenshots [3], and Schedule A listing 142 Defendants [3]) under seal. To date, Plaintiff has not filed any motion for leave to proceed anonymously, to file those documents under seal (as required by Local Rule 26.2(c)), or for any other relief. Given the strong presumption of public access to court filings, see Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372 (7th Cir. 2016) (discussing the standard to proceed anonymously) & Baxter Int'l, Inc. v. Abbott Lab'ys, 297 F.3d 544 (7th Cir. 2002) (explaining the legal requirements to file documents under seal), and Plaintiff's failure to seek appropriate relief and to comply with the Local Rules, the Court directs (1) the Clerk of Court to unseal any previously sealed documents, and (2) Plaintiff to file an amended complaint identifying itself by 6/7/24. Failure to comply by that deadline may result in this case being dismissed for want of prosecution. Mailed notice. 翻译 |
