| Filing 35 NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by All Plaintiffs of Certain Doe Defendants (Gulbransen, David) |
| Filing 34 PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins on 8/12/2024. Mailed notice. (jlj, ) |
| Filing 33 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The following Order does not apply to defendants Adicreat, Blueplus, Goodstoworld, Jubestar, NEWISTAR, PRMY, RAISEVERN, Sunidoor, Uideazone, gconeshop, tuanmaoyi. Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction #25 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 counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established #29 that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. The Clerk shall unseal any documents that are sealed. The Law Office Of David Gulbransen, is ordered to add ALL defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within five business days, instructions can be found on the Court's website at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_cmecf/pdfs/v60/Add_Terminate_Instructions.pdf. Mailed notice. (jlj, ) |

The motion #31 is granted. Defendant's response is due by August 22, 204 and Plaintiff's reply is due by August 29, 2024. The parties are encouraged to meet and confer on the matter, and a status report as to their efforts to settle or otherwise resolve their dispute is due by September 5, 2024. By August 12, 2024, Plaintiff is to re-submit a proposed order as to the remaining Defendants not listed above so that the Court can issue the appropriate order. Mailed notice. (jlj, ) |

| Filing 29 CERTIFICATE of Service by Plaintiffs SSI, Sharp Shirter, Inc. regarding text entry,,,, #28 (Gulbransen, David) |
| Filing 28 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion #25 for entry of a preliminary injunction. In connection with that motion, Plaintiff must serve all remaining 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 August 8, 2024." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining 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 orders entering the TRO, the TRO is extended until 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 FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Mailed notice(maf) |

| NEW PARTIES: Sharp Shirter, Inc. added to case caption. Terminating SSI (Gulbransen, David) |
| Filing 8 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion #6 is denied in part. The motion is denied with respect to the request to temporarily proceed under a pseudonym, SSI. No-name litigation is disfavored in general, and the Seventh Circuit has repeatedly voiced disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings. The Court is not convinced that the circumstances described in Plaintiff's one page filing show anything exceptional; hundreds of other "Schedule A" cases proceed without anonymity and the Court cannot see why this case is any different. In addition to the materials due by July 9, 2024 as described in the Court's earlier Order #7 , also by July 9, 2024, Plaintiff may refile its complaint in its own name without the use of a pseudonym, and it may renew its motion to seal certain of its filings. Mailed notice. (jlj, ) |
| Filing 7 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff should review the Court's standing order on "Schedule A" Cases, available at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/judge-info.aspx?IuUaWzNcEoPr4PHl9tvcGaMUezk8AnJ1 under the "Case Procedures" tab. As explained there, Plaintiff must complete and file the template linked on that page before the Court will consider granting any motion for preliminary injunctive relief. If the template is not completed within 14 days of the filing date, the Court may dismiss this matter for failure to prosecute. Mailed notice. (jlj, ) |
