15 2025-03-19 Amended Schedule A to Complaint [1] and Schedule A [2] by Jantz & Jantz GbR d/b/a Anita's & Bella's Art/Artwork
16 2025-03-21 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery and electronic service 12 is granted in part and denied in part as follows. Plaintiff may pursue discovery from third-party platforms to obtain reliable contact information for the only remaining Schedule A Defendant. However, any sales and financial data that would arguably go to the question of damages in this case is premature. In addition, because the evidence relating to sales of allegedly infringing products by Defendant is from August 2024 and the listing now appears to have been removed, the Court is not convinced that Plaintiff has shown that electronic service is a reliable method. The Court has modified Plaintiff's proposed order accordingly. Enter Order Authorizing Expedited Discovery. By 4/21/25, Plaintiff must file a status report updating the Court on any subpoena responses received and if a renewed motion for alternative service will be filed. Because Plaintiff is attempting to serve defendants who are purportedly located in a foreign country, the 90-day deadline under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m) would not apply. Nevertheless, service must be completed in a reasonable amount of time to keep this case moving forward. Finally, although some of Plaintiff's filings are currently sealed 2, 12, Plaintiff has not filed a motion to seal documents pursuant to L.R. 26.2. As such, the Clerk is requested to unseal any previously sealed documents. The motion hearing set for 4/1/25 14 is stricken. Mailed notice (gel,)

22 2025-04-23 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's renewed motion for electronic service of process [19] is granted. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with online marketplace defendants. Enter Order Authorizing Electronic Service of Process. The Clerk of the Court is directed to issue a single original summons in the name of "FangYueDian." Motion hearing set for 4/29/25 [21] is stricken. Mailed notice

27 2025-04-24 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A.

30 2025-05-27 NOTICE of Motion by Keith A. Vogt for presentment of motion for default judgment[28] before Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 6/10/2025 at 10:00 AM.
31 2025-05-28 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of default and default judgment 28 against the remaining defendants identified in Amended Schedule A 15. All remaining defendants have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, default against all defendants on Amended Schedule A is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment by the defaulted Defendants must be filed on or before 6/4/25. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining affected Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and promptly file proof of that service. Motion hearing set for 6/10/25 30 is stricken. Mailed notice.

33 2025-06-06 MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: No remaining Defendant has responded to Plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion 28 is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by Plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, Plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of Plaintiff's marks irreparably harms Plaintiff and confuses the public. Because this infringement was willful and considering the value of Plaintiff's brand as well as the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $15,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages against each remaining defendant. Enter Final Judgment Order. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice (gel,)
