| Filing 31 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment against all defendants #29 . All remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, an order of default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before 3/20/24. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed.

| Filing 27 PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER: Signed by the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings on 2/26/2024: Mailed notice. (rc, ) |
| Filing 26 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction #21 is granted. Plaintiff's filings 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 stated 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 infringing goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this action and the motion, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. 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. Mailed notice (cc, ) |

| Filing 25 CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiff Marco Orfeo Franz Busoni regarding order on motion for preliminary injunction,,,,, text entry,,,, #24 (Vogt, Keith) |
| Filing 24 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction #21 In connection with that motion, plaintiff must serve all defendants with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by or before 2/22/24." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's order entering the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date upon which the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Mailed notice (cc, ) |
| Filing 23 SUMMONS Returned Executed by Marco Orfeo Franz Busoni as to The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A on 2/14/2024, answer due 3/6/2024. (Attachments: #1 Declaration of Service)(Vogt, Keith) |
| Filing 22 MEMORANDUM by Marco Orfeo Franz Busoni in support of motion for preliminary injunction #21 (Attachments: #1 Declaration of Keith A. Vogt, #2 Exhibit 1, of Declaration of Keith A. Vogt)(Vogt, Keith) |
| Filing 21 MOTION by Plaintiff Marco Orfeo Franz Busoni for preliminary injunction (Vogt, Keith) |
| Filing 20 SURETY BOND in the amount of $ 10,000 posted by Marco Orfeo Franz Busoni (Document not scanned). (rc, ) |
| Filing 19 TEMPORARY Restraining Order: Signed by the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings on 2/6/2024 (td, ) Modified on 3/26/2024 (rc, ). |
| Filing 18 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal #13 , motion for lave to file excess pages #14 , and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and electronic service of process #15 are granted solely as to the defendants identified on plaintiff's Amended Schedule A #12 . Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, plaintiff may file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal. The Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this minute order shall also be placed under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motions cited above, plaintiff's filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that their assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods, and there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Status hearing is set for 3/11/24 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice (cc, ) |
