MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff has filed a motion [13] for temporary restraining order. Plaintiff's motion is ex parte as to the defendants, but plaintiff has given notice of the motion [19] to the non-party providers of services to the defendants named in the proposed temporary restraining order (collectively "third-party providers"). The third-party providers have until noon on Tuesday, August 22, 2023, to object to plaintiff's request that the court find that it has personal jurisdiction over them and that they are in active concert or participation with the defendants named in schedule A to the amended complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2). The third-party providers may file an objection in writing or request a hearing, to be conducted via teleconferencing, by sending a message to Chambers_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov, with a copy to all counsel of record, on or before noon on Tuesday, August 22, 2023. Plaintiff is ordered to serve the third-party providers with a copy of this order on or before August 17, 2023. Plaintiff must file a certificate of service on or before August 18, 2023.

For the purpose of a notification of affiliates required by Local Rule 3.2, "'affiliate' is defined as any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party." N.D. Ill. LR 3.2(a) (as amended May 5, 2022). Plaintiff must amend its notification of affiliates to clarify whether any individual or privately held entity meets Local Rule 3.2(a)'s definition of affiliate. Plaintiff is directed to file an amended notification of affiliates on or before 8/21/2023. Mailed notice |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Non-party ContextLogic Inc. ("ContextLogic"), filed an objection [24] to plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order in which it states, "Although ContextLogic is a non-party, it does not dispute or contest the Court's jurisdiction over it with respect to the enforcement of a temporary restraining order proposed by Plaintiff that may be entered in this case or any obligations that ContextLogic may have thereunder." ECF No. 24 at 2. ContextLogic further states that it "does not understand Plaintiff to be alleging that ContextLogic is acting in active concert or participation with the named defendants," but it "specifically objects" to any such finding by the court. Id. at 2-3. Based on ContextLogic's non-opposition to the requested relief, plaintiff's motion [13] for temporary restraining order is granted. The court makes no finding on whether ContextLogic is acting in active concert or participation with the named defendants. Also granted is plaintiff's motion [3] for leave to file Schedule A to the complaint [2], Schedule A to the amended complaint [12], and Exhibit 3 to the Declaration of Joe Pallett (doc. nos. [17] and [18]) under seal. Enter sealed temporary restraining order. A preliminary injunction hearing to be held by teleconference is tentatively set for September 6, 2023, at 1:00 p.m. The court will rule on any preliminary injunction motion without holding a hearing unless a hearing is requested at least 48 hours before the time of the scheduled hearing. A hearing may be requested by contacting Judge Gottschall's courtroom deputy at Chambers_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov. Plaintiff may provide notice of the preliminary injunction hearing to defendants by electronically publishing a link to the complaint, the temporary restraining order, and other relevant documents on a website and by sending an e-mail to the e-mail addresses identified in Exhibit 3 to the Declaration of Joe Pallett and any e-mail addresses provided for defendants by third parties that includes a link to said website.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Upon consideration of plaintiff's response [78] in opposition, defendant Lea International Group Ltd.'s ("Lea") motion [74] for an extension to and including 11/21/2023 of its deadline to answer or otherwise respond to plaintiff's live complaint is granted. According to the affidavit of service on file in this case [50], the summons and complaint were served on 9/25/2023, making defendants' answer due 21 days later on 10/16/2023. Fed. R. Civ. P. 12(a)(1)(A)(i). Lea filed its pending motion [74] on 10/31/2023, so, as plaintiff argues, the "excusable neglect" standard of Fed. R. Civ. P. 6(b)(1)(B) governs Lea's motion. See, e.g., Bowman v. Korte, 962 F.3d 995, 998 (7th Cir. 2020). "To find 'excusable neglect,' courts should consider all relevant circumstances surrounding the party's neglect, including the prejudice to the non-movant, length of delay, and reason for delay." Id. (citing Pioneer Inv. Servs. Co. v. Brunswick Assocs. Ltd. P'ship, 507 U.S. 380, 395 (1993)). Plaintiff argues that Lea has not articulated any facts in its motion constituting excusable neglect and cites several recent Lanham Act suits for the proposition that "Defendant's counsel has made a habit of failing to seek an extension of time in a timely manner." Resp. 2. Contrary to plaintiff's first argument, Lea represents in its motion [74] that it has recently retained counsel (Lea appeared on 10/30/2023, doc. no. [71]), that it has been engaging in settlement negotiations with plaintiff, and that it requires an extension of its answer deadline in an effort to avoid "unnecessary substantive motion practice." ECF No. 74 ¶ 3. Plaintiff does not contest these representations in its response. See Resp. 1. Missing a court deadline because settlement discussions are ongoing is a risky practice with nothing to recommend it. See, e.g., Saccameno v. Ocwen Loan Servicing, LLC, 2018 WL 10609656, at *2-3 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 11, 2018) (Gottschall, J.). However, plaintiff's attorneys share some of the responsibility for Lea's delay, given that they do not dispute that they were engaging in settlement discussions with Lea. In addition, the delay of approximately two weeks is relatively short, and plaintiff has identified no specific prejudice it will suffer if the extension is granted. Meanwhile, Lea will be subject to entry of an order of default and a default judgment if its motion is denied. For these reasons, the court finds that Lea's delay resulted from excusable neglect. See id.; Corbin v. Jensen, 2023 WL 7103160, at *2-3 (N.D. Ind. Oct. 26, 2023). In the future, counsel is strongly encouraged to file motions to extend a deadline before it expires regardless of whether settlement discussions are ongoing. Lea's deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint is extended to and including 11/21/2023.Mailed notice |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff has filed two documents entitled "satisfaction of judgment" (Doc Nos. 89, 90) in which plaintiff "acknowledge[s] payment of an agreed upon damages amount. [sic] costs, and interest." Plaintiff "desires to release this [default] judgment" as to certain settling defendants. The court construes these documents as motions under Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)(5) to vacate the default judgment as to settling defendants because it has been "satisfied, released, or discharged." As so construed, the motions are granted. The default judgment 88 is amended to provide that the following defendants are dismissed with prejudice: No. 52, bestjordanshoes7; and No. 105, Jaliba Bridge exclusive. Mailed notice |
