NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by All Plaintiffs as to defendant no. 58 VIVINICE

RETURN of Service of certified receipt # 7019 2280 0000 0962 9351 returned executed on 9/28/23.

DEFAULT FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER: Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 9/19/2023: Mailed notice.

ORDER: In the court's 7/28/2023 minute entry [27], it gave all defendants until 8/9/2023 to object to plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment [25]. The court grants plaintiff's motion [25] for entry of default and default judgment against all defendants identified on Schedule A attached to the court's order. Based on the evidence submitted in support of the temporary restraining order and the motion for entry of default and default judgment, and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that the infringement was willful, that damages should be awarded as set forth in the Final Judgment Order, and that a permanent injunction should be entered. Plaintiff has shown that the infringement of its copyright causes it irreparable harm in the form of diminished goodwill and brand confidence, damage to plaintiff's reputation, loss of exclusivity, and loss of future sales; that monetary damages are inadequate to address these harms; and that the public interest would not be disserved by a permanent injunction. No defendants have appeared to argue otherwise; thus, the court also finds that the balance of the hardships favors an injunction. The ten thousand dollar ($10,000) bond posted by plaintiff, including any interest, minus the registry fee, is hereby released to plaintiff's counsel. The Clerk of the Court is directed to return the $10,000 bond previously deposited with the Clerk of the Court to plaintiff's counsel, Keith Vogt, Ltd., 33 W Jackson Blvd. #2W, Chicago, Illinois 60604, via certified mail. Enter Final Judgment Order. Terminate civil case. Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 9/19/2023: Mailed notice.

MINUTE entr' before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: The court has received plaintiff's notice of dismissal [39], which again seeks to voluntarily dismiss defendant Aimsa Direct under Rule 41(a). As this court has already reminded Plaintiff, see [32], [35], [37], Rule 41(a) is not the proper vehicle for dismissing some, but not all, parties to an action. Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal [39] as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by dropping Aimsa Direct from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58. The court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. The amended schedule A is already on the docket. [38].

Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) ("Rule 41(a) should be limited to dismissal of an entire action."). The court therefore construes plaintiff's notice of voluntary dismissal [33] as a request for leave to amend the pleadings under Rule 15(a)(2) by dropping the aforementioned defendants from the Schedule A form, see Taylor, 787 F.3d at 857-58, and the court grants plaintiff leave to amend the pleadings. The amended schedule A is already on the docket, [34].

TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Martha M. Pacold on 6/27/2023: Modified on 7/21/2023 (jk2,).

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: For the reasons set forth in Plaintiff's motions, the supporting memoranda, and the temporary restraining order, Plaintiff's motions for leave to file excess pages 11 and for leave to file under seal 10 are granted. Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, electronic service of process, and expedited discovery 12 is granted. Plaintiff's filings support proceeding (for the time being) on an ex parte basis. Specifically, were defendants 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 defendants, 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 sales 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. As other judges in this district have noted, there may be reason to question both the propriety of the joinder of all defendants in this one action and whether plaintiff genuinely intends to pursue an accounting, but at this preliminary stage, plaintiff has provided sufficient evidence of coordinated activity and the prospect of an accounting to justify the requested relief as to all defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. If any defendant timely appears and objects, the court will revisit the asset freeze and joinder. Plaintiff shall deposit with the Clerk of Court ten thousand dollars ($10,000.00), either cash or surety bond, as security.
