Exhibit A |

|
2025-07-24 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction. In connection with that motion, Plaintiff must serve all Defendants with the following statement: "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 July 29, 2025." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve this minute order upon all remaining Defendants within one business day of its entry on the docket and must promptly file proof of that service. For the reasons stated in the Court's orders entering the TRO, the TRO is extended until the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under FRCP 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Mailed notice. |

|
2025-07-30 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction [35] is granted, which the Court now considers unopposed because no defendant filed a notice of objection by the established deadline. For the reasons set forth in plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction, as well as the reasons provided by plaintiff in connection with the Court's earlier entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction, including that the balance of harms favors plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established [40] that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this case and provided a link to a website containing relevant case documents. Enter preliminary injunction order. The Clerk shall unseal any documents that are sealed. The Law Firm of Greer, Burns & Crain Ltd., is ordered to add ALL defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within five business days, instructions can be found on the Court's website at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_cmecf/pdfs/v60/Add_Terminate_Instructions.pdf. Mailed notice. |
