20 2022-05-10 ORDER Signed by the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama on 5/10/2022: Plaintiff EnchantedMob, Inc. (Plaintiff) alleges claims of copyright infringement against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A" (collectively, the Defendants). Plaintiff's pending motion for leave to file under seal [3], ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery [11], and request for electronic service of process [15] are hereby granted. However, Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal did not request that Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order [11] remain under seal. Having reviewed the ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, the Court determines that it does not contain sensitive information, and directs the Clerk to unseal the document. Provided that Plaintiff provides the security described in Paragraph 10 of the temporary restraining order, the temporary restraining order shall become effective on May 12, 2022 at 6:00 p.m. and shall expire in fourteen (14) days from the effective date.

23 2022-05-16 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: On 05/10/2022, the Court entered an order granting Plaintiff's motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order, holding that if Plaintiff posted the requisite security by May 12, 2022 at 6:00 p.m., the TRO would become effective at that time and would last for a period of 14 days [20]. However, due to a timing issue, the Court did not receive the requisite security until 05/13/2022. The TRO accordingly did not become effective on May 12, 2022. The Court invites any appropriate motion by Plaintiff to address this issue Mailed notice
