| 07/16/2024 | (PUBLIC VERSION) SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 7/16/2024. Emailed notice |
| 07/16/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 07/16/2024. Emailed notice |
| 07/16/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) On review of the joinder memorandum and exhibit, R. 19, the Defendants use the same exact and unique 17-word advertising text, the images also are exactly the same, and the brand name and the unique Amazon identification number (an alphanumeric identifier) are the same. Joinder is satisfied at this preliminary stage. (2.) The Plaintiff's motion 14 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 17 U.S.C. § 504(b), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, copyright owners need only prove "the infringer's gross revenue"; the defendant must prove expenses. 17 U.S.C. §504(b). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendants, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The tracking status hearing of 07/19/2024 is reset to 08/02/2024 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 07/26/2024. Emailed notice |
| 07/08/2024 | SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff Eduardo Andre Ely Memorandum Establishing that Joinder is Proper |
| 07/01/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) The motion 13 to use extra pages is granted. The motion 12 to seal is granted in light of the concern that the alleged copyright counterfeiters would conceal evidence and transfer assets. (2.) On review of Amended Schedule A, the Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 18789 (N.D. Ill. 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing, in detail, the propriety of joinder of the remaining 18 Defendants by 07/10/2024. The supplemental memorandum may be filed under seal if it would reveal the identity of the Defendants. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a tracking status hearing is set for 07/19/2024 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).
