| Filing 38 PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 6/12/2023. Emailed notice.(cdh, ) |
| Filing 37 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Motion hearing held telephonically. Defendants did not appear. Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction #33 is granted. Plaintiff's filings and statements at the hearing establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk Defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of Plaintiff's filings and as relied upon by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that Plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors Plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, including this hearing, but no objection to the motion for entry of a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all defendants listed on Schedule A are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously sealed documents. Signed order to follow. Emailed notice (cdh, ) |

Hunt: Upon review of the Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction #33 filed on 6/6/2023, telephonic motion hearing is set for 6/12/2023 at 10:30 a.m. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: 877-336-1828, Access Code: 4082461. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking. Please note that the conference call-in will be used by all cases that are on the court's calendar for the said date, therefore counsel must be in a quiet area while on the line and must have the telephone muted until your case is called.
