27 2022-09-22 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff's motion 18 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, trademark owners need only "prove defendant's sales only; defendant must prove all elements of costs or deduction claimed." 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendant may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendant, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. By 09/30/2022, The Plaintiff shall email a redacted version of the TRO that can be entered publicly (redacting the names of Defendants and omitting Amended Schedule A). The Plaintiff's motion 24 for electronic service of process is granted. The tracking status hearing of 09/23/2022 is reset to 10/07/2022 at 8:30 a.m. The Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 09/30/2022.

33 2022-10-06 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In light of the continued applicability of the facts that justified entry of the TRO, the motion for preliminary injunction 30 is granted. Given the answer deadline of 10/21/2022, the tracking status hearing of 10/07/2022 is reset to 11/04/2022 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).
