03/06/2023 | MOTION by Plaintiffs Ground Works Co., Ltd., Khara Inc. for entry of a turnover order directed to Ebay, Inc. (Omitted relief from [46]) |
03/03/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiffs' motion for a turnover order (Dckt. No. [44]) is denied for the reasons stated by the Court in its Order on February 28, 2023. Mailed notice |

03/01/2023 | motion by Ground Works Co., Ltd., Khara Inc. for Entry of a Turnover Order Directed to Ebay, Inc. |
03/01/2023 | MOTION by Plaintiff Ground Works Co., Ltd. for turnover order (Omitted Relief from motion [44]) |
02/28/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The motion for a turnover order (Dckt. No. [42]) is hereby denied. The draft order directs Ebay to pay Plaintiffs "the amount held by Ebay, Inc. pursuant to a Citation to Discovery Assets." The order then lists a bunch of accounts. This Court does not know how much is in those accounts. And this Court did not authorize Plaintiffs to seize anything and everything in the accounts. This Court awarded a specific amount, but that's not what the proposed turnover order says. So the motion is denied. Mailed notice. |
02/23/2023 | Motion For Entry Of A Turnover Order Directed To Ebay, Inc. by Ground Works Co., Ltd., Khara Inc. |
02/23/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for a turnover order (Dckt. No. [40]) is hereby denied. Plaintiff did not submit a Word version of the proposed order to the proposed order inbox. Mailed notice. |

10/07/2022 | FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 10/7/2022. Mailed notice. |
10/07/2022 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiffs' motion for preliminary injunction (Dckt. No. 21) is denied as moot in light of the forthcoming permanent injunction. Plaintiffs' motion for default judgment (Dckt. No. 27) is hereby granted in part as stated in the accompanying order. The answers were due on May 17, 2022, but Defendants have not responded. (Dckt. No. 23). Plaintiffs' counsel neglected to give this Court an updated draft of a proposed final judgment with a revised list of the Schedule A defendants. That oversight forced this Court to spend its limited resources to reach out to its staff, and then have its staff reach out to counsel, to get its hands on something that counsel should have submitted in the first place. Going forward, the Court expects Plaintiffs' counsel to submit updated drafts to the Court. Plaintiff requested an order transferring all assets in Defaulting Defendants' financial accounts. The Court declines to award that relief. Plaintiff seeks statutory damages, not monetary equitable relief (like an accounting of profits). The Court will not compel the transfer of funds frozen through this Court's equitable powers given that Plaintiff is not seeking or obtaining monetary equitable relief. Plaintiff shall expressly notify any third party holding frozen funds that this Court has lifted the asset freeze, and shall provide a copy of this Order within one week. Plaintiff can enforce the judgment as provided in the Federal Rules. Final Judgment Order to follow. The case is closed. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice. |
08/18/2022 | STATEMENT by Ground Works Co., Ltd., Khara Inc. Regarding Asset Freeze 附件: 1:Exhibit 1 2:Exhibit 2 3:(Exhibit 3) |
08/09/2022 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction (Dckt. No. 21). The motion includes a request for an asset freeze. By August 19, 2022, Plaintiff must file a statement and point to the statutory provision that gives this Court the power to impose an asset freeze at the outset of the case. If Plaintiff cannot point to a specific statutory provision, then Plaintiff must address how its request for an asset freeze is consistent with Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo S.A. v. Alliance Bond Fund, Inc., 527 U.S. 308 (1999). In its brief in support of a TRO, Plaintiff argues that "[c]ourts have the inherent authority to issue a prejudgment asset restraint when plaintiff's complaint seeks relief in equity." See Mem., at 23. In Grupo Mexicano, the Supreme Court held that a district court has "no authority to issue a preliminary injunction preventing [a defendant] from disposing of their assets pending adjudication of [plaintiff's] contract claim for money damages." Id. at 333. The Supreme Court adhered to the long-standing rule that "a judgment establishing the debt was necessary before a court of equity would interfere with the debtor's use of his property." Id. at 321. "However, the [Grupo] [C]ourt specifically noted that a restraint on assets was still proper if a suit sought equitable relief." See CSC Holdings, Inc. v. Redisi, 309 F.3d 988, 996 (7th Cir. 2002) (citing Grupo, 527 U.S. at 333; Deckert v. Independence Shares Corp., 311 U.S. 282, 288 (1940)). "[A]s a general matter [] prejudgment asset restraints are not proper simply to establish a fund from which a later award of money damages can be satisfied." See Banister v. Firestone, 2018 WL 4224444, at *9 (N.D. Ill. 2018). An equitable restraint at the outset of the case might be doable if Plaintiff obtained equitable monetary relief at the end of the day, like an accounting of profits. See Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2013 WL 12314399 (N.D. Ill. 2013). But as a practical matter, in Schedule A cases, that recovery almost never happens, if at all. Instead, plaintiffs rush into court, seek and obtain an asset freeze, obtain a default judgment, and then ask district courts to unfreeze the money and award statutory damages, not equitable relief. In that scenario, it is not clear to this Court that it would be appropriate to use any frozen funds for any recovery of statutory damages, because statutory damages are a remedy at law, not a remedy in equity. If Plaintiff believes that it is appropriate for this Court to freeze funds at the outset of the case, and then use those funds to recover statutory damages (not equitable monetary relief) at the end of the case, then Plaintiff must explain why.
