10/23/2025
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction [27] is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk defendant will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court finds that plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established [30] that it provided electronic notice to defendant of the pendency of this action and the motion, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Schedule A are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents: Plaintiff's Complaint [5] and associated exhibit; Amended Complaint [9] and associated exhibits; Motion for Temporary Restraining Order [11]; and the Brief In Support of Motion [11-1]; Declaration of Benny Abrahamoff [11-3] and the accompanying exhibits [11-1 through 11-2]; Memorandum in Support of Joinder [12]; and TRO [24]. Summons was issued on 10/16/2025, and Defendant's response to the complaint is due by 11/6/2025. Plaintiff should file any motion for entry of default and default judgment by 11/13/2025. If there are any remaining defendants whom default and default judgment are not being sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file a status report identifying each defendant against whom this case is proceeding and state whether the parties anticipate a settlement or further litigation. A telephone status hearing is set for 11/20/2025 at 9:15 a.m. Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion [27] for entry of a preliminary injunction. In connection with that motion, plaintiff must serve Defendant ACEPrints with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by 10/21/2025." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. The Court will also rule on the papers unless a hearing is requested by 10/21/2025. A hearing, to be conducted via teleconferencing, may be requested by filing a Request for Hearing. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining defendants within one day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. Status hearing set for 10/23/2025 at 9:15 a.m. is converted to a tentative preliminary injunction hearing. Mailed notice 翻译 |

SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani on 10/9/2025. Mailed notice 翻译 |
| 26 |
10/09/2025
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery, and alternative service of process [19] are granted. Plaintiff's submissions establish that were defendant to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, plaintiff may file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal. The Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this minute order shall also be placed under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motions cited above, plaintiff's filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that their assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. Further, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit products, and there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. 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. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order at 9:30 a.m. on 10/9/2025. Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) if appropriate no later than 10/16/2025. Telephone status hearing is set for 10/23/2025 at 9:15 a.m. The call-in number is (855) 244-8681 and the access code is 172 628 1276##. Attorneys of record may not use speakerphones during the status hearing. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing but will be placed on mute. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: The Court has reviewed the plaintiff's memorandum on joinder [12]. For the reasons stated in the attached Order, the Court determines, within its discretion, that plaintiff has failed to satisfy his burden to show that joinder of 13 defendants is proper in this matter under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2). Accordingly, the Court dismisses defendant Nos. 2-13 without prejudice. The case will proceed against defendant No. 1. If plaintiff files a new action against defendant Nos. 2-13, plaintiff shall indicate on the Civil Cover Sheet that the filed case is related to this matter. See Local Rule 40.3(b)(2). Accordingly, plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order [11] is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [10] is granted in part as to the Schedule "A" attached to the Amended Complaint, Memorandum in Support of Joinder, Plaintiff's Motion and Brief in Support of Plaintiff's Ex Parte Request for an Emergency Temporary Restraining Order, and denied in part as to the Amended Complaint and Plaintiff's intellectual property registrations. "There is insufficient evidence. that Schedule A defendants are taking advantage of the case-tracking option to such an extent that it is materially impeding brand owners' enforcement efforts." XYZ Corp. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 2022 WL 180151, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022). Plaintiff is granted leave to file a second amended complaint in accordance with this Order by 9/9/2025. Mailed notice 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's motion for leave 4 is granted as to the request to file Schedule "A" attached to the Complaint and Exhibit 1 to the Complaint under seal and denied as to the request to proceed anonymously with Plaintiff's identity under seal and denied as to all other documents listed in the motion as they have not been filed. Exceptional circumstances have not been shown to proceed anonymously. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a) ("The title of the complaint must name all the parties[.]"); Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 377 (7th Cir. 2016) ("To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate 'exceptional circumstances' that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity."); XYZ Corp. v. Partn. & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 2020 WL 6681360, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 12, 2020) ("No-name litigation is the rare exception, not the Rule."). "There is insufficient evidence. that Schedule A defendants are taking advantage of the case-tracking option to such an extent that it is materially impeding brand owners' enforcement efforts." XYZ Corp. v. Partn. & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 2022 WL 180151, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022). Accordingly, by 7/16/2025, plaintiff shall file an amended complaint that lists plaintiff's true name. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of 15 defendants in this case. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 7/16/2025, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with a single defendant or a smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 189. Mailed notice. 翻译 |
