FINAL JUDGMENT ORDER Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 1/10/2023. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for default judgment against certain defendants (Dckt. No. [42]) is hereby granted. The answers are long overdue. This Court previously ordered the entry of default against certain defendants. (Dckt. No. [48]) The Court enters final judgment against all remaining Defendants except Defendants Car Car Store and 2daa2. Final Judgment Order to follow. Permanent Injunction Order to follow. The motion for a preliminary injunction (Dckt. No. [33]) is hereby denied as moot. (Maybe it is not technically moot for the two remaining defendants. Even so, a motion for a default judgment or a settlement seems imminent, so the Court denies it in the exercise of its discretion.) The case remains pending against Defendants Car Car Store and 2daa2 (only). Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: On December 12, 2022, this Court issued an Order granting an extension of time for Defendants Car Car Store and 2daa2 to answer the complaint. (Dckt. No. [47]) This Court set a deadline of January 1, 2023. That deadline has come and gone, and the defendants did not answer. The Court hereby enters default against Defendants Car Car Store and 2daa2 under Rule 55(a). The deadline is the Court's deadline, and parties must respect it. Plaintiff must proceed with alacrity to bring this case to a close, through a motion for default judgment or a notice of dismissal. Plaintiff must file a motion for default judgment or a notice of dismissal by January 20, 2023. Mailed notice

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.

SEALED TEMPORARY Restraining Order Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 10/4/2022. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's counsel has gotten into the habit of moving for a temporary restraining order, and then, two weeks later, reflexively filing a motion for a two-week extension of the TRO. Plaintiff's counsel does so as a matter of course, and has gotten too comfortable with that schedule. That bad habit creates extra burden for the Court. It means that this Court has to handle two TRO motions per case. And Plaintiff's counsel has filed hundreds of Schedule A cases in the past two years alone. So, that habit leads to hundreds of extra motions raining down on the federal courthouse, from a single law firm. The Court forewarns Plaintiff's counsel that it is not inclined to grant any extensions, including any extensions of the TRO, so Plaintiff must be prepared to comply. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal (Dckt. No. [3]) is hereby granted. Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order (Dckt. No. [13]) is hereby granted in part. Temporary Restraining Order to follow. For now, the Court is granting an asset freeze. But this Court is inclined to lift the asset freeze at a later time unless Plaintiff later seeks equitable monetary relief (like an accounting of profits) or unless Plaintiff can point this Court to a statute that expressly authorizes an asset freeze in connection with statutory damages. Motion for electronic service of process (Dckt. No. [18]) is hereby granted. Plaintiff must effectuate service of process by October 7, 2022. Responses to the complaint are due by October 21, 2022. Motions for default and default judgment are due by October 24, 2022. Responses are due by October 27, 2022. A failure to comply will lead to dismissal. The Court directs counsel to serve a copy of this Order and any forthcoming motion on Defendants, and file a certificate of service. Mailed notice.

STATEMENT by General Motors LLC per 21

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Plaintiff's motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order (Dckt. No. 13). The proposed minute order includes a request for an asset freeze. By August 19, 2022, Plaintiff must file a statement and point to the statutory provision that gives this Court the power to impose an asset freeze at the outset of the case. If Plaintiff cannot point to a specific statutory provision, then Plaintiff must address how its request for an asset freeze is consistent with Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo S.A. v. Alliance Bond Fund, Inc., 527 U.S. 308 (1999). In its memo, Plaintiff argues that "[c]ourts have the inherent authority to issue a prejudgment asset restraint when plaintiff's complaint seeks relief in equity." See Mem., at 12. In Grupo Mexicano, the Supreme Court held that a district court has "no authority to issue a preliminary injunction preventing [a defendant] from disposing of their assets pending adjudication of [plaintiff's] contract claim for money damages." Id. at 333. The Supreme Court adhered to the long-standing rule that "a judgment establishing the debt was necessary before a court of equity would interfere with the debtor's use of his property." Id. at 321. "However, the [Grupo] [C]ourt specifically noted that a restraint on assets was still proper if a suit sought equitable relief." See CSC Holdings, Inc. v. Redisi, 309 F.3d 988, 996 (7th Cir. 2002) (citing Grupo, 527 U.S. at 333; Deckert v. Independence Shares Corp., 311 U.S. 282, 288 (1940)). "[A]s a general matter [] prejudgment asset restraints are not proper simply to establish a fund from which a later award of money damages can be satisfied." See Banister v. Firestone, 2018 WL 4224444, at *9 (N.D. Ill. 2018). An equitable restraint at the outset of the case might be doable if Plaintiff obtained equitable monetary relief at the end of the day, like an accounting of profits. See Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2013 WL 12314399 (N.D. Ill. 2013). But as a practical matter, in Schedule A cases, that recovery almost never happens, if at all. Instead, plaintiffs rush into court, seek and obtain an asset freeze, obtain a default judgment, and then ask district courts to unfreeze the money and award statutory damages, not equitable relief. In that scenario, it is not clear to this Court that it would be appropriate to use any frozen funds for any recovery of statutory damages, because statutory damages are a remedy at law, not a remedy in equity. If Plaintiff believes that it is appropriate for this Court to freeze funds at the outset of the case, and then use those funds to recover statutory damages (not equitable monetary relief) at the end of the case, then Plaintiff must explain why.
