MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Clerk's Office contacted the courtroom deputy to report that it does not appear that the Plaintiff posted cash or surety (despite the TRO requirement, R. 20, 21), so Paragraph 9 of the Judgment Orders, R. 34, 35, is not operative in that no bond is to be returned. Counsel for the Plaintiff is reminded to ensure that all bonds are posted in cases of similar kind. Emailed notice

TEMPORARY Restraining Order (This is the public redacted version of the Temporary Restraining Order). Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 3/31/2025. Mailed notice.

SEALED ORDER. Signed by the Honorable Edmond E. Chang on 3/31/2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In this copyright-infringement case, the Plaintiff's motion 14 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 17 U.S.C. § 504(b), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, copyright owners need only prove "the infringer's gross revenue"; the defendant must prove expenses. 17 U.S.C. §504(b). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendants may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendant, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion 12 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. The motion 13 for extra pages is granted. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a status hearing is set for 04/11/2025 at 8:30 a.m. The Plaintiff shall file, if appropriate, the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 04/07/2025. Mailed notice.
