Gottschall: The motion #44 of Stripe Payments Co. and Stripe, Inc., for leave to file their notice of affiliates #45 under seal is granted.

Accordingly, objectors may reply to plaintiff's pleading #34 on or before 4/7/2023. Plaintiff may file a surresponse on or before 4/14/2023. Mailed notice (mjc, )

The third-party providers have until noon on Thursday, March 9, 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 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, March 9, 2023.

February 28, 2023 Filing 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff has filed a sealed renewed motion #11 for temporary restraining order. Plaintiff's motion is ex parte as to the defendants. But plaintiff has given notice of the motion #12 to some, but not all, of the non-party providers of services to defendants (collectively "third-party providers") named in paragraphs 4 and 7 of its proposed temporary restraining order ("TRO"). Additionally, it is impossible to tell which parties listed in plaintiff's certificate of service #12 correspond to the informal names used in paragraphs 4 and 7 of the proposed TRO. The names of the third parties plaintiff serves must correspond to the names used in the proposed TRO. Accordingly, plaintiff is ordered to (1) revise the proposed TRO to identify the legal names of the entities enjoined in paragraphs 4 and 7; (2) serve those entities; and (3) file a supplemental certificate of service on or before 3/2/2023. Mailed notice (mjc, )

February 14, 2023 Filing 9 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff's motion #4 for leave to file certain documents under seal and motion #5 for leave to exceed the Local Rule 7.1 page limit are granted. Plaintiff's motion #6 for an ex parte temporary restraining order and for leave to serve the summons and complaint by electronic means is denied without prejudice because plaintiff has not complied with Judge Gottschall's "Standing Order Lanham Act Counterfeit Product Cases." The standing order can be obtained from Judge Gottschall's page on the court's official website. In its memorandum of law [6-1] in support of its motion for a temporary restraining order, plaintiff does not discuss or attempt to distinguish the authorities cited in Judge Gottschall's standing order. Plaintiff has 14 days (until and including 2/28/2023) to refile its sealed motion, though plaintiff is of course free to refile more quickly if it wishes. Any refiled motion for temporary restraining order must either comply fully with the authorities cited in Judge Gottschall's standing order or cite authority showing that the relief plaintiff requests is authorized by governing law.
