66

May 15, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: Motion hearing held. The plaintiff's motion for a prejudgment asset restraint [53] is denied without prejudice. The plaintiff claims that a prejudgment asset restraint is appropriate under Fed. R. Civ. P. 64 and 735 ILCS 5/4-101. Rule 64 provides that, "[a]t the commencement of and throughout an action, every remedy is available that, under the law of the state where the court is located, provides for seizing a person or property to secure satisfaction of the potential judgment." Here, the plaintiff points to 735 ILCS 5/4-101 as "the law of the state where the court is located" that allows for prejudgment asset restraint. The state law provides that, "[i]n any court having competent jurisdiction, a creditor having a money claim, whether liquidated or unliquidated, and whether sounding in contract or tort, or based upon a statutory cause of action created by law in favor of the People of the State of Illinois, or any agency of the State, may have an attachment against the property of his or her debtor, or that of any one or more of several debtors, either at the time of commencement of the action or thereafter, when the claim exceeds $20. [w]here the debtor is not a resident of this State." 735 ILCS 5/4-101. Here, as explained on the record, the plaintiff has not shown that it is a "creditor" or that the defendants who would be subject to the prejudgment asset restraint are "debtors" under the statute. Because the plaintiff has not made this threshold showing, the Court does not reach any other issues. As for defendant fitshoes.com, which has answered the complaint, the case is referred to the Magistrate Judge for all discovery as well as settlement. Mailed notice

83

May 30, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey Cole: On 5/16/24 [dkt. [68]], we asked the parties to "submit an agreed upon fact discovery (including depositions) and expert discovery (including depositions) schedule not later than 5/23/24." On 5/23/24, Skechers (the "Plaintiff") and Defendant No. 91 Microsequence HK LTD d/b/a fitsshoes.com (the "Defendant"), filed what is captioned a "Joint Status Report." [80]. No other Joint Status Report or proposed discovery plan was filed by anyone else nor was there any objection from any defendant to the one that was filed. Accordingly, the Court adopted the proposed discovery schedule, and it was entered by the Court on 5/24/24. [dkt. [81]]. Then a week later, Skechers and other defendants filed what is captioned "Joint Status Report." [82]. In it, certain defendants asked the Court to enter a single discovery schedule as proposed in [82], contending that the schedule entered on 5/24/24, was "unfavorable and unmanageable." [82 at 3]. The "Status Report" noted that the "plaintiff disagrees with defendants' request." Why the defendants did not note their disagreement with the original "Joint Status Report" [80] at the time, was never addressed in the "Report" of 5/29/24. [dkt. [82]]. Under the new proposed schedule, expert discovery would be extended another 10 months. In light of these circumstances, the original discovery plan shall stand. Of course, the current "Joint Status Report" is in effect, a request to alter the pre-existing schedule and is denied. Should alterations in the schedule be sought in the future, there must of course, be compliance with the demands of the Federal Rule of Civil Procedure. Emailed notice

(No. 95 localityi.com), Amgo Technology Co., Limited (No. 100 moissture.com), and Shenzhen Jiangmao Network Technology Co., Ltd. (No. 101 signifye.com)'s (collectively, the "Anticipateh Defendants") motion to increase bond [112] is granted. Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c) provides, "The court may issue a preliminary injunction or a temporary restraining order only if the movant gives security in an amount that the court considers proper to pay the costs and damages sustained by any party found to have been wrongfully enjoined or restrained." Here, the plaintiff sought and received a temporary asset restraint against all of the defendants in this case. The plaintiff does not dispute that the amount restrained exceeds $4,400,000. According to the Anticipateh Defendants, the asset restraint includes $4,221,236.07 of their assets. The defendants point to the interest one could earn on that amount to show the inadequacy of the $10,000 bond currently in place. This argument is persuasive. A simple annual interest rate of 5% would generate more than $200,000 in interest, interest that the defendant cannot earn because the principal has been restrained. The plaintiff's arguments against increasing the bond lack merit. Any bond or increase in bond arises under Rule 65(c), not 15 U.S.C. § 1116(d). The harm here is not tied to the defendants inability to sell products, which they can prove up at a later date should they be found to have been wrongfully restrained, but to the basic economic maxim that it takes money to make money. The asset restraint prevents the defendants from putting more than $4,000,000 to work. Even if parked in an interest-bearing account, the argument goes, that would earn more than $200,000 in interest each year. But the defendants cannot do that because they cannot access the money. That is a direct consequence of the preliminary injunction, and a likely harm to the defendants if they were wrongfully enjoined. Based on these facts, and because this case remains stalled in its infancy due to the parties' repeated requests for extensions of time, the Court finds that the appropriate bond is $500,000. The plaintiff shall post this amount on or before January 3, 2025. The plaintiff's motion to strike the defendants' reply [132] is denied as moot; the Court did not rely on the defendant's reply in reaching its decision. Mailed notice.

Dec. 18, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff's motion to substitute defendants [110] is granted. The plaintiff filed this lawsuit naming various domain names as defendants. Since then, the plaintiff has learned the name of the entities that run those domain names and seeks to substitute them for the domain names. The defendants oppose, claiming that Rule 25 only allows substitution without amendment in four instances, none of which apply here. The defendants further argue that Rule 17 allows substitution, provided the plaintiff amends the complaint. The defendants' arguments overlook Rules 17(a)(3), 19(a) and 21. Rule 17(a)(3) allows joinder of the real party in interest by ratification, joinder, or substitution. Rule 19(a) allows joinder of a required party where joinder will not deprive the court of subject-matter jurisdiction. Rule 21 allows a court to, "at any time, on just terms, add or drop a party.", See also Teamsters Loc. Union No. 727 Health & Welfare Fund v. L & R Grp. of Companies, 844 F.3d 649, 651,52 (7th Cir. 2016) (substituting proper defendant, i.e. the "real party," under Rule 21). Here, each defendant had notice of this lawsuit and has been an active participant in this lawsuit. There is no reason to deny the plaintiff's motion. The plaintiff shall submit a proposed order identifying the substituted defendants on or before January 10, 2025. Mailed notice.

March 10, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: Defendant Sursell's motion to dismiss 154 is denied. Sursell argues that, because the operative complaint, (R. 50), incorporates for each count the previously alleged paragraphs, it "constitute[es] a shotgun pleading, [and] also fail[s] to state a cause of claim for relief, as Defendant is not aware which element belongs to which count and how to frame a response to the complaint." (R. 154 at 2.) The mere fact that a complaint incorporates by reference does not make it a shotgun pleading. See United States Sec. & Exch. Comm'n v. Winemaster, 529 F. Supp. 3d 880, 907 (N.D. Ill. 2021). The test remains whether a complaint contains sufficient factual allegations to state a claim for relief that is plausible on its face, Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009), and raises the right to relief above a speculative level. Bell Atl. Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007). Here, the complaint states a facially plausible claim for trademark infringement, false designation of origin, and, as to other defendants, cybersquatting. Mailed notice.
