MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Plaintiff's motion to seal 3 granted. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 90 defendants and multiple trademark registrations [1, 2] in a single action. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 12/11/24, plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. Plaintiff should also reference this Court's order in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28, where the Court expressed its joinder-related concerns in cases of this size. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 12/11/24 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 189. |

NOTICE of Motion by Trevor Christian Talhami for presentment of motion for entry of default, motion for default judgment 26 before Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 1/6/2025 at 09:30 AM. |

2024-12-30 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 26 against the remaining defendant identified in the Amended Schedule A 13. The remaining defendant has failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default against the defendant identified on the Amended Schedule A is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment by the defaulted Defendant must be filed on or before 1/14/25. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon the remaining affected Defendant within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. The Court re-sets the hearing on plaintiff's motion to 1/16/25 at 9:30 a.m. |

CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Peanuts Worldwide LLC regarding terminate hearings, set/reset hearings, 30 |

|
(Exhibit A) |

|
2025-01-15 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: The defaulting Defendant has not responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 26 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by Plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, Plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of Plaintiff's intellectual property irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful, and statutory damages are awarded. Given the nature and price-point of the product at issue, the value of the brand at issue, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement from Defendant, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $25,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against the remaining Defendant. No appearance required on 1/16/25. Enter final judgment order. Civil case terminated. |
