01/02/2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff' motion for reconsideration of this Court's order R. 25 26. "Motions for reconsideration serve a limited function: to correct manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence." Caisse Nationale de Credit Agricole v. CBI Indus., Inc., 90 F.3d 1264, 1269 (7th Cir. 1996). And the "[d]isposition of a motion for reconsideration is left to the discretion of the district court." Id. at 1270 (7th Cir. 1996); see also Gordon v. Caribbean Cruise Line, Inc., 2020 WL 13506297, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 22, 2020) ("District courts enjoy broad discretion to entertain motions to reconsider prior decisions."). As a threshold issue, the Court must determine whether Plaintiff has identified newly discovered evidence or a manifest error of law or fact within the Court's order. R. 25, Order. Plaintiff argues that the Court should reconsider its prior order denying Plaintiff's motion to seal and for an asset restraint because the Court is authorized to order an asset restraint, and because Plaintiff is seeking equitable relief in the recovery of Defendants' infringing profits. Mot. at 4-6. Plaintiff cites other courts in this judicial district that have granted asset restraints in Schedule A cases. Id. at 3-4. Plaintiff also argues that the Court has authority to transfer funds that are restrained post-judgment, even if Plaintiff has not yet decided on damages. Id. at 8-9. In the alternative, Plaintiff asks the Court to authorize an asset restraint limited to the assets attributable to Defendants' infringing conduct. Id. at 9-10. Plaintiff does not purport to submit newly discovered evidence as a basis for reconsideration. Thus, the Court understands Plaintiff's argument to be that the Court's decision denying the motion to seal and asset restraint was a manifest error of law or fact. As the Court stated in its Order, in its experience with myriad Schedule A cases, although plaintiffs almost always request equitable relief as a possible remedy, in almost every Schedule A case, plaintiffs end up requesting statutory damages at the end of the case. Order at 4-5. But Plaintiff has done enough, if barely, in its motion to reconsider to convince the Court that, because Plaintiff does seek an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), an asset freeze may be warranted here. See, e.g., Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2013 WL 12314399, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 31, 2013). As the Deckers court noted, "where equitable relief is sought, the appropriate scope of prejudgment restraint must be limited only to what is reasonably necessary to secure the (future) equitable relief"here, that would be the amount of Defendants' profits resulting from its alleged counterfeit sales. Id. Since Defendants have not yet appeared, Plaintiff necessarily has no discovery, so it is difficult, if not impossible, for Plaintiff to know Defendants' profits. Given the asset-restraint goal, and for the reasons described herein, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion to reconsider 26 and provisionally grants the motion. The Court provisionally grants the motion for leave to file under seal 3. However, for the reasons described in the accompanying Order, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's complaint without prejudice for misjoinder. Plaintiff has until 1/14/2025 to file an amended complaint naming one defendant or a group of properly joined defendants. If the latter, Plaintiff must also file a memorandum explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. The Court terminates Plaintiff's motion for extension of time to comply with the Court's Order 27 as moot, and denies the other pending motions 11, 16 without prejudice. Mailed notice. 翻译 |
