STATUS Report by John Doe |

|
2022-12-18 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction (Dckt. No. 30) is hereby granted in part and denied in part. Based on the record, the Court (meaning Judge Seeger, sitting in the capacity as the emergency judge) largely grants the motion because it is consistent with the facts and with the prior rulings of Judge Blakey. That said, the preliminary injunction largely does not apply to Defendant Panther Print, who appeared and opposed the motion. The Court makes that point in the last paragraph of the accompanying Preliminary Injunction Order. Based on the record (including the small number of sales, and the collateral damage that an injunction could cause for the sale of non-infringing products), the Court has determined that more limited injunctive relief is appropriate. Based on the record, Panther Print's Etsy store and frozen funds shall be immediately released. Panther Print shall refrain from selling any of the alleged infringing items set forth in the Complaint, specifically the Audrey Hepburn bubblegum chewing gum and Marilyn Monroe pink bubble gum canvas wall art picture prints. Defendant Panther Print's motion to prevent injunction (Dckt. No. 36) is thus granted in part and denied in part. The parties may seek additional relief from Judge Blakey as they deem appropriate.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: On 2/13/23, this Court entered a default judgment order as to numerous Defendants, including Defendants No. 4 and No. 387. See [69]. These Defendants have moved to vacate, see [84], [85]. Based upon its review of the docket and the parties' submissions, the Court denies the motion [84], [85]. Plaintiff served Defendants and they had actual notice of this lawsuit by at least 12/16/22 (indeed, the parties were negotiating a settlement at this time); yet these Defendants never appeared or responded to the complaint. Defendants argue that the affidavit concerning service of process is 'likely faulty"; yet they do not explain how or why this is so. Defendants concede that their attorney was negotiating a settlement with Plaintiff when the Court entered default judgment; they do not claim that the parties reached any agreement to resolve their dispute or otherwise agreed to extend the deadline for answering or appearing. In short, the docket reflects service of process and a complete failure to answer or otherwise appear in response to the complaint; thus far, Defendants have offered no factual or legal basis to vacate the default. To the extent the parties agreed to some resolution, Defendant should meet and confer with its counsel and Plaintiff and file an agreed motion to vacate the default judgment. The Court strikes the 4/20/23 status hearing date. Plaintiff shall file a status report by 4/28/23 concerning any remaining Defendants. Mailed notice |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court denies Defendants' motion for reconsideration 91, which argues that the Court erroneously applied certain factual findings to both Defendants, rather than just to Defendant 387. But Defendants' motion makes clear that the Court's findings concerning notice, in fact, apply to both Defendants. Indeed, Defendants jointly moved to vacate, jointly arguing all points on behalf of "Defendants" and discussing "Defendants' website https://madepants.com"; they state in their motion that they are "owned by the same owner, with their principal officers as Xuebo Zeng" and that "Defendants hired an attorney Ms. Chen in China from Fa-Shen Consulting to engage with the Plaintiff starting from early February of 2023, to negotiate the settlement with the opposing counsel." 85 at 5-6. Based upon these representations and assertions, the Court declines to reconsider its findings that these Defendants were served, had actual notice of this lawsuit, failed to answer or otherwise appear, and failed to provide any factual or legal basis to justify vacating the default.

2024-02-15 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: In this closed case, Defendant Laoife Direct recently appeared, see 108 and now seeks to vacate the default judgment order entered 5/10/23. See 109. But under Local Rule 83.12 "only members in good standing of the general bar of this Court may enter an appearance on behalf of a party; file pleadings, motions or other documents; sign stipulations; or receive payments upon judgments, decrees or orders. Defendant Laoife Direct's attorney, Zheng Gong, filed an appearance form that differs from the form available on the Court's website in that it omits the question of whether he is, in fact, a member of the general bar. As a result, the Court denies without prejudice the motion to vacate 109 and strikes the 2/21/24 Notice of Motion date. If this Defendant wishes to pursue the motion, its attorney must first file an updated appearance form that establishes compliance with the Local Rules. Mailed notice |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: On 2/13/23, this Court entered a default judgment as to numerous defaulting Defendants, including Defendant Laoife Direct (No. 2). See 69. On 2/12/24, almost a year after judgment entered, Laoife moved to vacate the default judgment, see 109, 113 ; the Court denied the motion because Laoife's counsel failed to demonstrate compliance with Local Rule 83.12. Counsel remedied the deficiency and renewed the motion to vacate on 2/15/24, see 113. Laoife also asks the Court to dismiss the action for lack of personal jurisdiction and to enter an order requiring Plaintiff to return the seized and transferred funds, and requiring Amazon to remove all restrictions placed on Laoife's account as a result of the default judgment. Id. Plaintiff opposes the motion, see 116. Rule 60(b)(1) provides that "[o]n a motion and upon such terms as are just, the court may relieve a party. from a final judgment, order, or proceeding" upon a showing of "mistake, inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect." Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b)(1); Jones v. Phipps, 39 F.3d 158, 162 (7th Cir. 1994). To prevail on its motion, Laoife must show: (1) "good cause" for the default; (2) quick action to correct the default; and (3) the existence of a meritorious defense to the original complaint. Id. (citing n. Pretzel & Stouffer v. Imperial Adjusters, 28 F.3d 42, 45 (7th Cir.1994); United States v. DiMucci, 879 F.2d 1488, 1495 (7th Cir.1989)). Laoife fails on all three requirements. Laoife's argue that it failed to monitor its only business email account; such neglect arguably remains inexcusable, particularly in light of its representation that it maintains a single valid business email and its concession that Plaintiff, in fact, provided actual notice of this lawsuit to that address. [113-1] at 2, 5-6. Moreover, even if the Court were to find Laoife's negligence excusable, Laoife still failed to take quick action to correct the default: even after Amazon restricted its funds, Laoife failed to even check its email for another seven months. Nor has Laoife demonstrated the existence of a meritorious defense; on the contrary, Laoife concedes that it offered infringing products on its Amazon site, concedes that it remained (at least until 10/10/22) ready, willing, and able to sell infringing products to residents of Illinois, and that it in fact sold an infringing product to a resident of Illinois. Plaintiff also challenges the damages awarded Plaintiff, arguing that it sold just one unit of the infringing product, resulting in an approximate profit of $0.50. Id. But the Court awarded Plaintiff statutory damages, which remain untethered to Defendant's sales or profits. For these reasons, the Court denies Laoife's motion to vacate and for other relief 113. This case remains closed. Mailed notice |
