RESPONSE by Counter Defendant Pet Technology Worldwide, LLC, Plaintiff Spectrum Brands, Inc. to text entry, [299] Plaintiffs Submission in Response to Courts Order of February 5, 2025 [Ecf 299]

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: In their 12/3/24 status report [281], the plaintiffs indicated that all defendants not listed in the default judgment motion (excluding defendant nos. 2, 23, 45, and 57-60) had "settled and/or been dismissed." Based on that representation, the Court released the $87,000 surety bond in its default judgment order [283]. On review, however, it appears to the Court that some defendants not covered by the default judgment (excluding defendant nos. 2, 23, 45, and 57-60) may remain in the case. (Defendant nos. 34 and 101 fell into this category before their dismissal.) By 2/12/25, the plaintiffs shall file a list of such defendants. The Court reserves the right to reimpose a bond for the listed defendants, to whom the preliminary injunction still applies. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: Upon receipt of the plaintiffs' notices of voluntary dismissal pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i) [296] [297], defendant nos. 34 and 101 are dismissed from this case. Mailed notice

ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/27/2024: Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: The Court has reviewed the plaintiffs' notice of voluntary dismissal [288], which purports to dismiss defendant no. 62. The Court notes that a default judgment has been entered against defendant no. 62, and that voluntary dismissal (to the extent still permissible) does not relieve defendant no. 62 from that default judgment. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c), 60(b). If the default judgment has been "satisfied, released, or discharged" as to defendant no. 62, perhaps pursuant to settlement, the proper way to note that is to file a report of full satisfaction of judgment.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Maria Valdez: Remote attorneys-only settlement conference is set for 1/14/25 at 11:00 a.m. Participating counsel will be sent a Webex link, and they shall advise chambers as soon as possible if their contact information changes before the conference. Final settlement positions are due by 1/13/25. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Court's Standing Order may result in the unilateral cancellation of the settlement conference by the Court. THE FACT THAT A SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE HAS BEEN SCHEDULED DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PARTIES SHOULD STOP ENGAGING IN SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS AMONG THEMSELVES. The Court finds that too often the parties put settlement talks on hold until the settlement conference with the Magistrate Judge. The Court expects that many cases can be resolved among the parties without the need for court-supervised mediation. If your informal discussions are unsuccessful, the Court will conduct the conference but will expect the parties to apprise her of the status of their ongoing settlement discussions. Because of the volume of settlement conferences conducted by Judge Valdez, once a settlement conference date has been agreed upon, no continuance will be granted without a motion showing extreme hardship.

MOTION by Counter Defendant Pet Technology Worldwide, LLC, Plaintiff Spectrum Brands, Inc. for entry of default Plaintiffs Motion for Entry of Default Judgment Presented before District Judge

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:On review of the parties' joint stipulation [270] and pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(2), the Court recognizes ECF Nos. 261-267 as the operative pleadings of defendant nos. 2, 23, 45, and 57-60. In view of this recognition, the plaintiffs' motion to dismiss counterclaims [234] is denied as moot, and the briefing schedule for that motion [237] is stricken. The Court adopts the parties' stipulation regarding deadlines. "[F]or each respective set of counterclaims, the deadline for Plaintiffs to respond will be 30 days after the conclusion of any settlement conference between Plaintiffs and the respective Defendant, in the event a settlement is not reached. If the Court declines to schedule a settlement conference regarding any or all of the Defendants in view of the Parties' settlement letters, the deadline for Plaintiffs to respond to the counterclaims of any such Defendants will be 30 days from the notice provided by the Court indicating that a settlement conference will not be conducted at this time" [270].

STIPULATION regarding text entry, [269] stipulation as to amended answer and counterclaims

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: In its order dated 10/4/24 [237], the Court directed defendant nos. 2, 23, 45, and 57-60 to respond to the plaintiffs' motion to dismiss counterclaims [234] by 11/1/24. It appears that, rather than responding, those defendants have filed amended answers and counterclaims. This would ordinarily moot the plaintiffs' motion to dismiss. The Court observes, however, that the latest date to amend without leave was 10/25/24, 21 days after the plaintiffs filed their motion. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). If defendant nos. 2, 23, 45, and 57-60 wish for their amended answers and counterclaims to become their operative pleadings, they must seek the plaintiffs' written consent or obtain leave of court via a separate motion. Any motion for leave to amend (preferably a joint motion) or notice of written consent must be filed by 11/12/24. The Court will determine how to proceed with the plaintiffs' motion to dismiss counterclaims [234] on or after that date. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The motions by defendant nos. 57-60 [257], 2 and 23 [258], and 45 [259] to dismiss or sever for improper joinder are taken under advisement. The plaintiffs' response is (or responses are) due by 11/22/24; the defendants' reply is (or replies are) due by 12/11/24. Because the issues in the motions appear to overlap, the plaintiffs are permitted to file a consolidated response of up to 20 pages. The defendants may, without conceding the propriety of joinder, file a consolidated reply. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: The plaintiffs' request for Clerk's entry of default [138] is denied without prejudice, as the plaintiff has not adequately proved that the listed defendants have been served. The declaration of William E. Manske [139] notes that "the Complaint and summons [were] served on the Defaulting Defendants via Email and WeTransfer," and the returned summons [42] indicates that the plaintiffs "provided notice of the proceedings in this case and completed service. to all defendants identified in Schedule A." But neither piece of information identifies the specific email or WeTransfer addresses (corresponding to the specific defendants) served, and the Court will not direct the Clerk to enter a default without this information. The plaintiffs are afforded leave to file a declaration of service expressly identifying which defendants have received proper service (and which email and/or WeTransfer addresses were used) along with a renewed default request. Because a court may issue a preliminary injunction only on notice to adverse parties, Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(a)(1), this declaration shall include not only the defendants listed in the default request [138], but also all defendants against whom a preliminary injunction [44] is sought. Mailed notice
