MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction [33]. The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no Defendant appears and objects by 01/13/2025. Plaintiff is directed to file a status report on 01/14/2025 as to whether the preliminary injunction is opposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must file proof of that service within two business days after service.

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.

MOTION by Plaintiffs Sega Corporation, Sega of America, Inc. to Extend the Temporary Restraining Order

SUMMONS Issued as to Defendant The Partnerships And Unincorporated Associations Identified On Schedule A

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motions and as detailed in the accompanying Order, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order [12], and motion for electronic service of process [16]. Provided that Plaintiff provides the security described in paragraph 11 of the temporary restraining order, the temporary restraining order shall become effective on 12/2/2024 at 6:00 p.m. and shall expire in fourteen (14) days from the effective date. The Court finds that joinder of the "Schedule A" Defendants is proper at this preliminary stage. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A). The Court notes that no Defendants are prejudiced by permitting joinder at this juncture. See Bose Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 334 F.R.D. 511, 517 (N.D. Ill. 2020). To the extent any defendant appears and objects to joinder, the Court will revisit the issue and is free to sever certain defendants from the case under Rule 21 at that time. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court has reviewed Plaintiffs' motion for reconsideration of this Court's order R. 20 [21]. "Motions for reconsideration serve a limited function: to correct manifest errors of law or fact or to present newly discovered evidence." Caisse Nationale de Credit Agricole v. CBI Indus., Inc., 90 F.3d 1264, 1269 (7th Cir. 1996). And the "[d]isposition of a motion for reconsideration is left to the discretion of the district court." Id. at 1270 (7th Cir. 1996); see also Gordon v. Caribbean Cruise Line, Inc., 2020 WL 13506297, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 22, 2020) ("District courts enjoy broad discretion to entertain motions to reconsider prior decisions."). As a threshold issue, the Court must determine whether Plaintiffs have identified newly discovered evidence or a manifest error of law or fact within the Court's order. R. [20], Order. Plaintiffs argue that the Court should reconsider its prior order denying Plaintiffs' motion to seal and for an asset restraint because the Court is authorized to order an asset restraint, and because Plaintiffs are seeking equitable relief in the disgorgement of Defendants' profits. Mot. at 3-4. Plaintiffs cite other courts in this judicial district that have granted asset restraints in Schedule A cases. Id. at 5. Plaintiffs also argue that the Court has authority to transfer funds that are restrained post-judgment, even if Plaintiffs have not yet decided on damages. Id. at 5-6. In the alternative, Plaintiffs ask the Court to authorize an asset restraint limited to the assets attributable to Defendants' infringing conduct. Id. at 9. Plaintiffs do not purport to submit newly discovered evidence as a basis for reconsideration. Thus, the Court understands Plaintiffs' argument to be that the Court's decision denying the motion to seal and asset restraint was a manifest error of law or fact. As the Court stated in its Order, in its experience with myriad Schedule A cases, although Plaintiffs almost always request equitable relief as a possible remedy, in almost every Schedule A case, Plaintiffs end up requesting statutory damages at the end of the case. Order at 4-5. But Plaintiffs have done enough, if barely, in their motion to reconsider to convince the Court that, because Plaintiffs do seek an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 15 U.S.C. § 1117(a), an asset freeze is warranted here. See, e.g., Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2013 WL 12314399, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 31, 2013). As the Deckers court noted, "where equitable relief is sought, the appropriate scope of prejudgment restraint must be limited only to what is reasonably necessary to secure the (future) equitable relief"here, that would be the amount of Defendants' profits resulting from its alleged counterfeit sales. Id. Since Defendants have not yet appeared, Plaintiffs necessarily have no discovery, so it is difficult, if not impossible, for Plaintiffs to know Defendants' profits. Therefore, the Court will adopt Plaintiffs' alternative proposal in the TRO to "restrain and enjoin any such accounts or funds from transferring or disposing of any of Defendants' assets traceable to the proceeds of the sales of products using the Sega Trademarks and/or Sega Copyrighted Works, until further ordered by this Court. Upon a showing that restrained assets are not attributable to the sale of products using the Sega Trademarks and/or Sega Copyrighted Works, the Court will modify the asset restraint." Mot. at 10. However, the Court acknowledges that, at this stage without the benefit of discovery, the restraint will functionally be a complete asset restraint. To the extent that the restraint is overly broad, any defendants may file challenges to the scope of the TRO by submitting evidence that some or all of the money has other sources. However, at a later stage, if and when Plaintiffs have had an opportunity to conduct discovery and determine any appeared Defendants' profits, the Court will determine whether an asset freeze remains appropriate. See, e.g., Nirvana, L.L.C. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 2022 WL 22886568, at *2 n.2 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 1, 2022). Accordingly, for the foregoing reasons, the Court grants in part Plaintiffs' motion to reconsider [20] and will grant a limited asset restraint as described above, and grants the motion for leave to file certain documents under seal [3]. The TRO will be entered as a separate Order. The Court terminates Plaintiffs' motion for extension of time to comply with the Court's Order [22] as moot. Mailed notice.
