Docket(#40) MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Telephonic motion hearing held. For the reasons stated on the record, Plaintiff's Motion for preliminary injunction #35 is granted. Enter preliminary injunction order. The Clerk is directed to unseal all previously sealed documents. Plaintiff is ordered to add all Defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within three business days. Instructions can be found on the court's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov. Telephonic Status hearing is set for 3/25/22 at 9:30 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing. The call-in number is 888-808-6929 and the access code is 4911854. Counsel of record will receive an email 30 minutes prior to the start of the telephonic hearing with instructions to join the call.

Notice mailed by Judge's staff (lf, ) (Entered: 02/23/2022)
Docket(#39) MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Telephonic status and motion hearing held. Motion hearing held. Plaintiff's motion for extension of temporary restraining order #32 is granted in part. As stated on the record, although the Court is reluctant to extend temporary restraining orders beyond the 28 day period set out in Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(2), the unusual circumstances here occasioned by the delay in third-parties effectuating the temporary restraining order justifies the extension to and including 2/22/2022. The Seventh Circuit has stated, "the language of Rule 65(b)(2) and the great weight of authority support the view that 28 days is the outer limit for a TRO without the consent of the enjoined party, regardless of whether the TRO was issued with or without notice." H-D Michigan, LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 844 (7th Cir. 2012). The Seventh Circuit, however, also recognizes that a TRO can be extended beyond the 28 day period and remains effective when it is so extended, although it becomes in effect an immediately appealable preliminary injunction as long as the order comports with the formal requirements for a preliminary injunction. Id. at 845. Following the Seventh Circuit's guidance, the Court has reviewed the original TRO granted in this case [see #24 ] and believes that the explanation given to support its entry is sufficient to support the entry of a preliminary injunction as well. The Court further finds that the substantial harm may befall the Plaintiff if the TRO is not extended because the Defendants may attempt to move any assets obtained from the alleged counterfeiting from their bank accounts to offshore accounts. Moreover, the Court notes that Plaintiff indicates that it has finally resolved the issue with the last third-party to effectuate the TRO and has simultaneously provided notice to the Defendants and filed a motion for a preliminary injunction set for 2/22/2022. Accordingly, the Court finds good cause to extend the TRO for an additional 7 days until the Court can rule on the pending motion for preliminary injunction.
