SUPPLEMENT to Supplemental Information to Plaintiff's TRO Motion 14 |

|
2025-07-23 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The motions to file excess pages 13 and file under seal 12 are granted. The plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 14 is taken under advisement. Upon review of the supplemental index, the screenshots do not show a single copyright that was allegedly infringed by each of the defendants listed in the plaintiff's Schedule A, raising a question as to the propriety of joinder. Plaintiff is directed to supplement the TRO motion with a brief explaining why joinder is proper notwithstanding the lack of a single copyright common to all defendants. (In other words, the brief should explain why joinder of claims of infringement of different copyrights is appropriate in this case.) If the brief contains new screenshots, those screenshots must be included in an updated version of the certification and exhibit attached to Plaintiff's TRO motion. Alternatively, the plaintiff may voluntarily dismiss any defendants not alleged to violate a common copyright (e.g., defendants 59 and 67) or amend its complaint to include only defendants alleged to have violated the same trademark and file a renewed motion for entry of a TRO.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:On the grounds set forth in the motion, plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction 26 is granted. Enter preliminary injunction order. The preliminary injunction directs, among other things, that Schedule A be unsealed. Plaintiff is ordered to enter in CM/ECF no later than 8/14/25 each defendant named in the original Schedule A as a party in this case (where a defendant has been dismissed, the CM/ECF entry should reflect that status). Failure to timely comply with this requirement may result in vacating the preliminary injunction.
