ORDER: The Court grants in part and denies in part Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery 17. That is, the Court grants Plaintiff's request for electronic discovery related to the identities and locations of Defendant, but denies the request as to the nature of Defendants' operations and all associated sales, methods of payment for services and financial information, which information the Court finds is more appropriate addressed in the regular course of discovery. Additionally, for the reasons stated in the motion, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) 18. Signed by the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama on 12/2/2025. Mailed notice.

MOTION by Plaintiff Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation Plaintiff's Motion for Electronic Service of Process Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3)

MOTION by Plaintiff Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation to expedite Plaintiff's Motion for Expedited Discovery

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a TRO and other relief 12 is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff has not come close to meeting the exacting standards of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b) to warrant ex parte relief. That is, the Court finds that "the generic copy-and-paste declarations made mostly 'upon information and belief' fall well short of providing 'specific facts' to 'clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage will result,' and also fail to satisfy the certification requirement." Ren et al v. AilunUS, 25-cv-09278 Dkt. 32 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 22, 2025). That is ample reason to deny this extraordinary request. See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A., No. 25 C 2937, 2025 WL 2299593 at *4-7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025) (Kness, J.) ("Given that any irreparable harm wrought by infringement can, as with more traditional forms of IP litigation, be addressed through preliminary injunctive relief following an adversarial proceeding, the use of Rule 65(b) to ensure an unimpeded path to a prejudgment asset restraint is unsound."). The Court acknowledges that, in earlier Schedule A cases, it granted similar TRO motions. See, e.g., Milwaukee Electric Tool Corporation v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, 25-cv-08835 Dkt. 22 (Aug. 19, 2025). However, upon further consideration of the issue, including a review of Judge Kness's thorough order in Eicher Motors, the Court finds that the present TRO request, and other similar requests, do not satisfy Rule 65(b)'s requirements. Plaintiff may be allowed to seek discovery to assist with identifying defendant, but any such request must be presented in a separate motion. For the reasons stated in the motion, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion to seal 8 and terminates its motion for excess pages as moot 11. Mailed notice.
