November 4, 2022 Filing 47 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff's deadline #43 to show good cause to continue to seal previously filed documents in this case has come and gone, and nothing has been filed. Accordingly, the clerk is directed to unseal all previously sealed documents, including the following documents: ECF Nos. #2 , #10 , #15 , [15-1], [15-2], and [15-3]. Mailed notice (mjc, )
November 2, 2022 Filing 46 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff and defendant No. 5 a.k.a. "Jorlyen Store" ("defendant No. 5"), have filed a stipulation #45 of dismissal with prejudice as to Jorlyen only. Counsel are advised that the Seventh Circuit has held that Rule 41(a) may be used only to dismiss "the whole case." Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857-58 (7th Cir. 2015) (citing Berthold Types Ltd. v. Adobe Sys. Inc., 242 F.3d 772, 777 (7th Cir. 2001) (other citation omitted)). The proper way to drop fewer than all claims or defendants is to amend the complaint under Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a). If plaintiff wishes to drop defendant No. 5 by amending his complaint, he is granted leave to file an amended complaint on or before 11/9/2022. If the parties instead want the court immediately to enter a separate judgment dismissing defendant No. 5 with prejudice, they must file a Fed. R. Civ. P. 54(b) motion and show that there is no just reason to delay entry of judgment against defendant No. 5. Mailed notice (mjc, )

September 29, 2022 Filing 20 CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Luke Combs regarding text entry,,,,,,,, #19 (Vogt, Keith)
September 29, 2022 Filing 19 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 #16 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 and including October 6, 2022, 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 complaint. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(d)(2). The third-party provider 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 October 6, 2022. Plaintiff is ordered to serve the third-party providers with a copy of this order and file a certificate of service on or before October 3, 2022. Additionally, paragraph five of plaintiff's proposed form of temporary restraining order provides, "Upon LUKE COMBS' request, those with notice of this Order, shall within ten (10) business days after receipt of such notice, disable and cease displaying any advertisements used by or associated with Defendants in connection with the sale of counterfeit and infringing goods using the LUKE COMBS Trademarks." Plaintiff does not attempt to justify paragraph five in his memorandum of law supporting his motion for a TRO. Paragraph five cannot be entered insofar as it purports to bind anyone with notice of the order regardless of whether or not the unserved third party is acting in active concert or participation with defendants or is otherwise bound by the TRO under Rule 65(d)(2) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. By no later than October 3, 2022, plaintiff must submit a revised form of temporary restraining order complying with Rule 65(d)(2) to Proposed_Order_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov.
