| 04/04/2025 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER signed by the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings on 4/4/2025. Mailed notice |
| 04/04/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 31 is granted. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk defendant 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 that it provided electronic notice to defendant 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 the defendant. Enter preliminary injunction order. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that the defendant listed on Schedule A is added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents. If plaintiff intends to move for an order of default and default judgment, plaintiff shall file its motion on or before 4/18/25. The 4/4/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 5/23/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice |
| 02/28/2025 | CERTIFICATE of Service by Robert Payton Mcmurray on behalf of Sport Dimension, Inc. |
| 02/28/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction 31. 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 or before March 17, 2025." 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 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 |

| 02/14/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings:Plaintiff's ex parte motion to extend the TRO 26 is granted. The TRO entered on 2/4/25 25 is extended to 3/4/25. Mailed notice |
| 02/13/2025 | MOTION by Plaintiff Sport Dimension, Inc. for extension of time Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion to Extend the Temporary Restraining Order |
| 02/04/2025 | SEALED ORDER: Signed by the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings on 2/4/2025. |
| 02/04/2025 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 18 and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery, and electronic service of process 19 are granted. Moreover, the Court sua spontegrants plaintiff leave to file certain exhibits to its motion for TRO under seal. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were defendant to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendant could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. As such, the Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this minute order shall 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 defendant to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that its assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendant, stopping defendant's 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 defendant 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. The 2/14/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 4/4/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice. |
