13 2024-03-14 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff's proposed temporary restraining order directs non-party service providers by name to freeze defendants' assets. Plaintiff did not give notice of its motion to the third-party service providers named in the proposed temporary restraining order. Judge Gottschall's standing order regarding Lanham Act counterfeiting suits, such as this case, provides: "Counsel should be aware that pursuant to Seventh Circuit authority, under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2), third-parties not named in the complaint (typically, for example, Amazon and eBay) cannot be named as in active concert or participation with the defendants unless their active concert or participation is proven AND they receive advance notice and an opportunity to be heard before any such order is entered. Any proposed order not complying with the cases identified here will be rejected. Please see the following cases: Lake Shore Asset Management Limited v. Commodity Futures Trading Commission, 511 F.3d 762 (7th Cir. 2007); United States v. Kirschenbaum, 156 F.3d 784 (7th Cir. 1998); Pow! Entertainment, LLC v. Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified On Schedule A Hereto, 2020 WL 5076715 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 26, 2020)." This standing order can be obtained on Judge Gottschall's page on the court's official website at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. In its memorandum 9 of law in support of its motion for a temporary restraining order, plaintiff makes no effort to distinguish the cases cited in Judge Gottschall's standing order. Because plaintiff has not given notice to the third-party service providers named in its proposed temporary restraining order, plaintiff's motion 8 for a temporary restraining order is denied without prejudice. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion 4 to seal certain documents is granted. Plaintiff may refile its motion for a temporary restraining order on or before 3/27/2024. If plaintiff wishes to give notice to third-party service providers listed in its temporary restraining order, it should file a separate certificate of service stating how and when the third-party providers were served with plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order. The court will then set a deadline for the third-party providers to object to, or request a hearing on, the motion.Mailed notice

The third-party providers 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 noon on Thursday, 4/11/2024.
