November 15, 2022 Filing 28 OPPOSITION BRIEF re: #26 Order,,,,,,, Certification of AML in Response to Court Order. Document filed by ID Tech, LLC. (Attachments: #1 Exhibit Letter to Shopify).(Lester, Steven)
November 14, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 27 OPPOSITION BRIEF re: #26 Order,,,,,,, #23 Opposition Brief per Order by Judge Colleen McMahon. Document filed by ID Tech, LLC..(Lester, Steven)
November 10, 2022 Opinion or Order Filing 26 ORDER: As directed at the hearing, counsel for ID Tech must supply Shopify with a copy of the transcript of the November 7 hearing - specifically those portions in which counsel confessed that his client did not have a registered copyright for the merchandise that was the subject of the takedown orders, and in which the court ruled that Bayam could not be labeled a "repeat offender" since it appeared that it was ID Tech that had "offended" Shopify by filing false DMCA notices. What Shopify chooses to do about continuing to do business to ID Tech is not the business of this court. As discussed in our last hearing, what is left of this action is being referred to Magistrate Judge Figueredo for general pre-trial supervision. I am not consolidating the two actions; indeed, I have no power to do so, since Judge Figueredo is the assigned judge for all purposes in ID Tech I. I urge the parties to consent to her exercise of jurisdiction over this lawsuit as well (aside from the matter of the preliminary injunction motion, which I will decide if the matter if not obviated by an acceptable representation on Defendant's part). If the parties decide to proceed before Judge Figuredo for all purposes, they should file a consent pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 636 and as soon as the preliminary injunction issue is put to rest I will hand the matter off. If the parties do not so consent, she will superintend this matter for all pretrial purposes, even as she continues as the only judge on ID Tech I. If Judge Figueredo is the judge for all purposes in this matter, she should set a schedule for the filing of an amended complaint (if there is to be one) or a responsive pleading. If she is not so designated, I will set that schedule. (Signed by Judge Colleen McMahon on 11/10/2022) TO ALL PARTIES BY ECF (kv)
