MOTION by Plaintiff Jonas Sebastian Jodicke for leave to file under seal

MOTION by Plaintiff Jonas Sebastian Jodicke for leave to file excess pages

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In this copyright-infringement case, the Plaintiff's motion 12 for temporary restraining order and other relief is granted. An order will be entered under seal separately. Although the Court again expresses its concern about restraining assets before judgment, Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo v. Alliance Bond Fund, 527 U.S. 308, 331 (1999), the Plaintiff does invoke a statutory remedy, namely, an accounting of profits (that is, disgorgement of profits) under 17 U.S.C. § 504(b), which is not a mere common-law equitable claim and thus could allow for pre-judgment restraint. Indeed, copyright owners need only prove "the infringer's gross revenue"; the defendant must prove expenses. 17 U.S.C. §504(b). To the extent that the restraint might be too broad, the Defendant may appear and file challenges to the scope of the TRO. The balance of factors tips in favor of Plaintiff being able to freeze the assets without advance warning to the Defendant, who likely would seek to transfer the money elsewhere. The Plaintiff's motion 10 for leave to file under seal is granted in light of the asset-restraint goal. The Plaintiff's motion 11 for extra pages is granted. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a status hearing is set for 09/16/2022 at 8:30 a.m. The Plaintiff shall file the TRO extension motion (or a preliminary injunction motion) no later than 09/09/2022.

(Declaration of Service)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In light of the facts that justified the entry of the TRO, the motion for preliminary injunction 21 is granted. The extension motion on the TRO, R. 20, is terminated as moot. Given the answer deadline of 10/03/2022, the parties shall file a joint initial status report on 10/07/2022. If no answer is filed by 10/03/2022, then the Defendants shall be deemed in default and the Plaintiff shall file a motion for default judgment on 10/07/2022. The tracking status hearing of 09/16/2022 is reset to 10/21/2022 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called).

MOTION by Plaintiff Jonas Sebastian Jodicke for default judgment as to The Defendants Identified In [Amended] Schedule A

MEMORANDUM by Jonas Sebastian Jodicke in support of motion for default judgment 26

Exhibit 1

Exhibit 2

(Declaration of Keith A. Vogt)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: In light of no timely answer, the Plaintiff's motion for default judgment 26 is granted. Because the default established willfulness, a permanent injunction is appropriate. As explained in the Order, the requested damages award of $15,000 per Defendant is reasonable. A separate AO-450 judgment shall be entered. The tracking status hearing of 10/21/2022 is vacated. Civil case terminated. Emailed notice
