| 27 | 2025-03-11 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's motion for leave [7] is granted as to the request to temporarily file documents under seal and denied as to the request to temporarily proceed under a pseudonym, motion for leave to file under seal [11] is granted, and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and electronic service of process [9] is granted. Exceptional circumstances have not been shown to proceed anonymously. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a) ("The title of the complaint must name all the parties[.]"); Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 189 F.3d 372, 377 (7th Cir. 2016) ("To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate 'exceptional circumstances' that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity."); XYZ Corp. v. Partn. & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 2022 WL 180151, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022) ("There is insufficient evidence. that Schedule A defendants are taking advantage of the case-tracking option to such an extent that it is materially impeding brand owners' enforcement efforts."); XYZ Corp. v. Partn. & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 2020 WL 6681360, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 12, 2020) ("No-name litigation is the rare exception, not the Rule."). Accordingly, by 3/14/2025, Plaintiff shall file an amended complaint that lists Plaintiff's true name. Moreover, Plaintiff's submissions establish that, was defendant to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendant could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, plaintiff may file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal. The Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this minute order shall also be placed under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motion cited above, plaintiff's filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, was defendant to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that its assets and website would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendant, stopping defendant's infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. Further, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit products, and there is no countervailing harm to defendant from an order directing it to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendant. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendant and to implement the asset freeze. By 3 p.m. on 3/11/2025, Plaintiff shall submit a proposed temporary restraining order to the Court's proposed order inbox for entry. Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) if appropriate no later than 3/18/2025. Telephone status hearing is set for 3/25/2025 at 9:15 a.m. Mailed notice |
