MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff should review the Court's standing order on "Schedule A" Cases, available at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/judge-info.aspx?IuUaWzNcEoPr4PHl9tvcGaMUezk8AnJ1 under the "Case Procedures" tab. As explained there, Plaintiff must complete and file the template linked on that page before the Court will consider granting any motion for preliminary injunctive relief. The submission must also provide a listing of all prior Schedule A cases filed in any court in the United States in which Plaintiff was a plaintiff, and a listing of any of the defendants included in the Schedule A in this case that Plaintiff has previously named as a defendant in any prior complaint or Schedule A case. Finally, by filing the template, Plaintiff certifies that Plaintiff has not used any of the screenshot evidence supplied in support of a motion for a TRO in this case in any prior proceeding. If the template is not completed by April 18, 2025, the Court may dismiss this matter for failure to prosecute. The Court declines to rule on the pending motions until a completed template is filed. Mailed notice. |

MOTION by Plaintiff VIZ Media, LLC for preliminary injunction |
|
23
|
2025-05-15 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction. In connection with that motion, Plaintiff must serve all remaining Defendants with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no Defendant appears and objects by May 21, 2025." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering the TRO, the TRO is extended until the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Mailed notice. |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 22 is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established 24 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. The Clerk shall unseal any documents that are sealed. The Law Firm of Aronberg Goldgehn Davis & Garmisa, is ordered to add ALL defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within five business days, instructions can be found on the Court's website at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_cmecf/pdfs/v60/Add_Terminate_Instructions.pdf. Mailed notice. |
