| 10/17/2023 | MOTION by Plaintiff Zorro Productions, Inc. for preliminary injunction Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of a Preliminary Injunction Nunc Pro Tunc to October 10, 2023 |
| 10/10/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado:Plaintiff's motion to amend the temporary restraining order nunc pro tunc 40 is granted. Enter Amended TRO. |
| 10/06/2023 | MOTION by Plaintiff Zorro Productions, Inc. Plaintiff's Motion to Amend the Temporary Restraining Order Nunc Pro Tunc |
| 09/22/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for an extension of time of the Temporary Restraining Order 38. The TRO is extended through 10/10/23. Per Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b)(2), the Court finds good cause for this extension because Plaintiff reports that the relevant third parties have not completed effectuating the TRO. Further, without the TRO in place, there is a high probability that Defendant will continue to harm Plaintiff. |

| 09/12/2023 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado on 9/12/2023. Mailed notice. |
| 09/12/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: For the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the temporary restraining order, Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and for service of process by email and/or electronic publication 10 is granted. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, were Defendants (identified in the amended Schedule A at 33) to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, it is likely assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating Plaintiff's interests in identifying the individuals and entities operating Defendants' online sellers, stopping Defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by Plaintiff shows a substantial likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and a sale into Illinois), the harm to Plaintiff is irreparable, and an injunction is in the public interest. 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. See, e.g., Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A," No. 20-CV-05049, 2021 WL 2894166, at *5 (N.D. Ill. July 9, 2021) (finding electronic service proper in similar circumstances). Expedited discovery is warranted to identify Defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security. |

| 06/20/2023 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Nancy L. Maldonado: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 6. For the reasons provided in its motion, Plaintiff may file under seal its Schedule A identifying the list of Defendants and screenshots showing the Defendants' internet stores in Exhibit 2 of the Declaration of John Gertz. The Court also grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages 9. Plaintiff may file its motion for a temporary restraining order that does not exceed 28-pages. Before the Court can rule on Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 10, the Court orders Plaintiffs to file a brief addressing the propriety of joinder of all defendants on or before 7/20/2023. See Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020); Art Ask Agency v. Individuals, Corps., Ltd. Liab. Cos., P'ships, and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 21-CV-06197, 2021 WL 5493226 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2021). Plaintiff's brief must refer to specific facts alleged in this case. For example, Plaintiff shall provide citations to specific screenshots associated with specified Schedule A defendants to demonstrate that joinder is proper. |
