| Filing 16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order #12 is summarily stricken. Plaintiff has been reminded of this Court's requirement to notice motions for presentment #9 ; yet counsel once again failed to do so. Counsel is admonished to review and comply with all court procedures and local rules. Even so, in order to be entitled to equitable relief like an exparte TRO, Plaintiff must show (among other things) that there is ongoing or impending harm. Swanigan v. City of Chicago, 881 F.3d 577, 583 n.2 (7th Cir. 2018). The evidence submitted in this case #14 supports allegations of infringement in July and August of 2024, which, in this Court's view, is too old to support a finding of ongoing harm at this time. And Plaintiff certainly has not demonstrated a basis for granting a temporary restraining order without notice to the named defendant under Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b). Accordingly, upon review of Plaintiff's status report #15 , the telephonic status hearing set for 4/30/25 #9 is stricken. By 5/8/25, Plaintiff is ordered to file a status report proposing next steps in this case, if other appropriate relief has not been sought by that date. Otherwise, the case may be dismissed for want of prosecution. Finally, the Clerk's office is directed to update the docket and caption to reflect that Plaintiff's name is "Purkey Enterprises, LLC", not "PE, LLC". Mailed notice (mjc, ) |

| Filing 10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Pursuant to the Court's prior order #9 , the Clerk is directed to update the docket to reflect that the Defendant is "qinggandianzishangwuyouxiangongsi," as identified in the unredacted amended complaint #8 , and that "John Doe" is terminated Mailed notice (gel,) |
| Filing 9 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motions to seal #4 #6 were not noticed for presentment in accordance with this Court's case management procedures. Counsel is reminded to review and comply with all court procedures. For future reference, non-compliant motions may be summarily stricken. However, the motions #4 #6 are denied. Plaintiff has not established exceptional circumstances that would justify allowing Plaintiff to conceal its own identity, nor has Plaintiff established any basis for sealing its trademark, copyright, or patent information [8-1] or filed a temporary restraining order as indicated in its motions to seal #4 #6 . See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000) ("Many a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case... be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing."). As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016); see also Doe v. Loyola Univ. Chicago, 100 F.4th 910, 913 (7th Cir. 2024). Thus, the request to seal Plaintiff's complaint #5 , amended complaint #8 , and the exhibits containing Plaintiff's intellectual property registrations [8-1] is denied. The Clerk of Court is directed, forthwith, to unseal Plaintiff's complaint #5 and its attachments, as well as its amended complaint #8 , which includes the exhibit attached containing Plaintiff's intellectual property registrations [8-1]. Last, the parties are ordered to file a Scheduling Order for Patent Cases by 4/23/25. A template for the Order can be found in Appendix A to the Local Patent Rules. Parties should review the Local Patent Rules prior to completing the Scheduling Order. A telephonic initial status hearing is set for 4/30/25 at 9:45 AM. Attorneys/parties may appear by dialing: 1-650-479-3207 and entering access code: 2311 499 1046. No attendee code is required. Please review in advance the policies governing telephonic hearings that can be found on Judge Hunt's webpage on the court website. Mailed notice (gel,) |
