24 2023-06-30 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Non-party ContextLogic Inc. ("ContextLogic"), filed an objection 22 to plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order in which it states, "Although ContextLogic is a non-party, it does not dispute or contest the Court's jurisdiction over it with respect to the enforcement of a temporary restraining order proposed by Plaintiff that may be entered in this case or any obligations that ContextLogic may have thereunder." ECF No. 22 at 2. ContextLogic further states that it "does not understand Plaintiff to be alleging that ContextLogic is acting in active concert or participation with the named defendants," but it "specifically objects" to any such finding by the court. Id. at 2-3. Based on ContextLogic's non-opposition to the requested relief, plaintiff's motion 11 for temporary restraining order is granted. The court makes no finding on whether ContextLogic is acting in active concert or participation with the named defendants. Also granted are plaintiff's motion 10 for leave to exceed the Local Rule 7.1 page limit and motion 9 for leave to file Schedule A to the complaint 2 and Exhibit 2 13 to the declaration of Alexa Struck under seal. Enter sealed temporary restraining order. A preliminary injunction hearing to be held by teleconference is tentatively set for July 14, 2023, at 10:30 a.m. 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 Alexa Struck and any e-mail addresses provided for defendants by third parties that includes a link to said website.
