MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff has filed a motion 13 for temporary restraining order. Plaintiff's motion is ex parte as to the defendants, but plaintiff has given notice of the motion 16 to the non-party providers of services to the defendants named in the proposed temporary restraining order (collectively "third-party providers"). The third-party providers have until and including October 6, 2022, to object to plaintiff's request that the court find that it has personal jurisdiction over them and that they are in active concert or participation with the defendants named in schedule A to the complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2). The third-party provider may file an objection in writing or request a hearing, to be conducted via teleconferencing, by sending a message to Chambers_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov, with a copy to all counsel of record, on or before October 6, 2022. Plaintiff is ordered to serve the third-party providers with a copy of this order and file a certificate of service on or before October 3, 2022. Additionally, paragraph five of plaintiff's proposed form of temporary restraining order provides, "Upon LUKE COMBS' request, those with notice of this Order, shall within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, disable and cease displaying any advertisements used by or associated with Defendants in connection with the sale of counterfeit and infringing goods using the LUKE COMBS Trademarks." Plaintiff does not attempt to justify paragraph five in his memorandum of law supporting his motion for a TRO. Paragraph five cannot be entered insofar as it purports to bind anyone with notice of the order regardless of whether or not the unserved third party is acting in active concert or participation with defendants or is otherwise bound by the TRO under Rule 65(d)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. By no later than October 3, 2022, plaintiff must submit a revised form of temporary restraining order complying with Rule 65(d)(2) to Proposed_Order_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov. Mailed notice |

2022-10-14 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: In response to the objections of non-party eBay Inc. ("eBay"), to the proposed temporary restraining order, plaintiff has amended his complaint 26 and dropped his claims against all defendants associated with eBay. See ECF No. 25 at 2. eBay's objections 21 are therefore overruled as moot, and plaintiff's motion 13 for entry of a sealed temporary restraining order is granted with the exception of the eBay sellers who are no longer defendants. Enter sealed temporary restraining order. Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal 11 and for leave to exceed page limitation 12 are granted. A preliminary injunction hearing to be held by teleconference is tentatively set for 10/28/2022 at 10:30 a.m. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and in accordance with the guidance of Fifth Amended General Order No. 21-0027, the court will rule on any preliminary injunction motion without holding a hearing unless a hearing is requested at least 48 hours before the time of the scheduled hearing. A hearing may be requested by contacting Judge Gottschall's courtroom deputy at Chambers_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov. Plaintiff may provide notice of the preliminary injunction hearing to defendants by electronically publishing a link to the complaint, the temporary restraining order, and other relevant documents on a website and by sending an e-mail to the e-mail addresses identified in Exhibit 2 to the Declaration of Christopher T. Kappy and any e-mail addresses provided for defendants by third parties that includes a link to said website. Mailed notice |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Counsel for plaintiff is reminded that several exhibits and prior iterations of schedule A to the complaint remain sealed. The good cause shown for sealing these documents was limited to the time needed to freeze the defendants' assets. It is unclear why good cause continues to exist. If plaintiff does not wish to have all presently sealed documents unsealed, he must, within the next seven days, show good cause to continue to maintain the seal. Mailed notice |

STIPULATION of Dismissal Joint Stipulation of Dismissal as to Def No. 5, aka "Jorlyen Store," |
|

|
2022-11-02 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff and defendant No. 5 a.k.a. "Jorlyen Store" ("defendant No. 5"), have filed a stipulation 45 of dismissal with prejudice as to Jorlyen only. Counsel are advised that the Seventh Circuit has held that Rule 41(a) may be used only to dismiss "the whole case." Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857-58 (7th Cir. 2015) (citing Berthold Types Ltd. v. Adobe Sys. Inc., 242 F.3d 772, 777 (7th Cir. 2001) (other citation omitted)). The proper way to drop fewer than all claims or defendants is to amend the complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). If plaintiff wishes to drop defendant No. 5 by amending his complaint, he is granted leave to file an amended complaint on or before 11/9/2022. If the parties instead want the court immediately to enter a separate judgment dismissing defendant No. 5 with prejudice, they must file a Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) motion and show that there is no just reason to delay entry of judgment against defendant No. 5. Mailed notice |
