[+] 16 2025-07-09 MOTION by Plaintiff Hong Kong Leyuzhen Technology Co. Limited for temporary restraining order
17 2025-07-10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motions for electronic service and a temporary restraining order [15] [16] are taken under advisement. By 7/24/25, the plaintiff is required to supplement its motion with a certification that the plaintiff has not used any of the screenshot evidence supplied in support of its motion in any prior proceeding. Upon review of the index of screenshots [16-7], the screenshots do not show a single copyright that was allegedly infringed by each of the defendants listed in the plaintiff's Schedule A, raising a question as to the propriety of joinder. Plaintiff is directed, by 7/24/25, to supplement the TRO motion with a brief explaining why joinder is proper notwithstanding the lack of a single copyright common to all defendants. (In other words, the brief should explain why joinder of claims of infringement of different copyrights is appropriate in this case.) If the brief contains new screenshots, those screenshots must be included in an updated version of the certification and index attached to Plaintiff's TRO motion. Alternatively, the plaintiff may amend its complaint to include only defendants alleged to have violated the same copyright and file a renewed motion for entry of a TRO. Mailed notice
