SEALED EXHIBIT by Plaintiff Bang Bang Merchandise LLP Schedule A regarding amended complaint 9 |
|
11
|
2025-04-16 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's motion to seal, 5, is denied. Plaintiff requests that the court seal the complaint and plaintiff's exhibits "until such time as the Court holds a hearing on Plaintiff's anticipated Motion for Preliminary Injunction." Id. at 1. Plaintiff seeks to prevent defendants from learning about this action because if the defendants learn of this action prior to a preliminary injunction hearing, defendants may take steps to "conceal, destroy, and/or alter records relating to the infringing products." Id. at 2. However, under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(a)(1), "[t]he court may issue a preliminary injunction only on notice to the adverse party." Thus, plaintiff cannot seek to prevent defendants from learning about this suit until this court holds a hearing on a preliminary injunction motion, as issuance of a preliminary injunction requires notice to defendants. Plaintiff otherwise does not explain how or why sealing is warranted in this case. Thus, plaintiff's motion to seal, 5, is denied. Plaintiff's sealed exhibits, 2, 10, are stricken. If plaintiff wishes to proceed with this case, plaintiff must file its exhibits publicly on the docket by 4/24/2025. |

MOTION by Plaintiff Bang Bang Merchandise LLP to expedite discovery |
|
16
|
2025-05-06 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process, 14, is granted. The court finds that electronic service of process is proper under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3). Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendants. To the extent that the motion requests service of process of any temporary restraining order in this case, see id. at 2, no temporary restraining order has been issued. |
