2025-03-08 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: At the 3/5/2025 hearing in this case, defendant BlueStars asked for time to respond to plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction. The Court set a schedule for BlueStars to respond and plaintiff to reply on that motion and set the matter for a further telephonic hearing on 3/24/2025. The Court extended the TRO after finding good cause. Then two days later BlueStars filed an "emergency" motion to reduce the asset restraint, saying that the amount restrained exceeds by hundreds of thousands of dollars the amount of any conceivable profits on infringing sales. The Court is left to wonder why BlueStars's attorney said nothing about this during the 3/5/2025 hearing, not even at the end of the hearing when the Court asked, "Anything else that we haven't already talked about that anybody wants to bring up?" Given the circumstances, the Court sees no basis to modify the existing schedule, though it does urge plaintiff to return defense counsel's communications and attempt to resolve the matter of the amount secured prior to the 3/24/2025 hearing and reminds plaintiff that there are consequences if a party is found to have been wrongfully restrained. Plaintiff's response to the motion to modify is due on 3/19/2025, the same date as its reply on the motion for preliminary injunction. |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: This order addresses a number of pending motions. (1) Motion by DiMaddie and other defendants to set a briefing schedule [61] is moot, because the Court has set a briefing schedule on the motion for preliminary injunction. (2) Motion by defendant Wowreed for extension of time [84] is granted; response to complaint by that defendant is to be filed by 4/9/2025. This does not affect any other date or deadline set by the Court. (3) Motions by defendants Wowreed [85] and Ningbo Bichun Tech. Co. [90] for extension of time to respond to the motion for preliminary injunction are denied, because the temporary restraining order has been extended only through 3/24/2025, the defendants have not consented to a further extension, and thus the Court must decide the preliminary injunction motion by 3/24/2025. (4) Plaintiff's motions to exceed page limitations [92] [97] are granted. (5) Motion by defendants DiMaddie and 3 others for extension of time [100] is granted; responses to complaint by those defendants are to be filed by 4/18/2025. This does not affect any other date or deadline set by the Court. mk) |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: At a telephonic hearing this morning, the Court orally granted plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment [132] but said that it would reduce the requested amount significantly given the points discussed during the hearing. The Court did not fully appreciate at that time the breadth of the proposed default judgment order submitted by plaintiff. Among other things it purports to permanently shut down the Amazon (etc.) accounts of the defendants, and it imposes very broad injunctive relief upon the defendants. The Court is not persuaded that the latter is appropriate given the very narrow and focused nature of the claimed "false designation of origin" as described by plaintiff's counsel during this morning's hearing, and the former is likely overbroad as well. The Court needs to address these points further with plaintiff and therefore sets the matter for a further telephonic hearing on for 5/5/2025 at 8:55 AM, using call-in number 650-479-3207, access code 2305-915-8729. |
