ATTORNEY Appearance for Defendant JIARODEY by Jiyuan Zhang

MOTION TO DISMISS FOR FAILURE TO STATE A CLAIM by Defendant JIARODEY

Declaration of Guo

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Before the Court is a motion to dismiss 48 filed by Defendant JIARODEY. As is explained in the Court's standing order on motions to dismiss (available on the Court's website), the parties are advised that, when a motion to dismiss is filed, the nonmoving party has a right to amend its pleading once within 21 days. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B). Accordingly, consistent with the purpose of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure "to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding," Fed. R. Civ. P. 1, plaintiff is directed to review Defendant JIARODEY's motion to dismiss and to consider exercising, as appropriate, plaintiff's right to amend under Rule 15(a)(1)(B). If plaintiff elects to amend its pleading in response to the motion to dismiss, then defendant (unless otherwise ordered) must, within 21 days of the amended pleading, file either an answer or a renewed motion to dismiss. If plaintiff elects not to amend but instead chooses to litigate the motion to dismiss, plaintiff (unless ordered otherwise) must file its response within 21 days of the filing of the motion, and defendant must file its reply within 14 days of the filing of the response. By 5/16/2024, Plaintiff shall file a status report advising how it wishes to proceed. A telephone status hearing is set for 5/23/2024 at 9:15 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing but will be placed on mute. The call-in number is (855) 244-8681 and the access code is 172 628 1276##.

MOTION by Defendants HQG NeonSign, Jinxiuhe for extension of time

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Before the Court is Defendants HQG NeonSign's and Jinxiuhe's Motion for Extension to Time [54] to respond to the Complaint. The motion does not state whether Plaintiff opposes the requested relief, as required by the Court's Standing Order Re Civil Motion Practice (available on the Court's web page). Accordingly, the motion [54] is denied without prejudice to refiling with the required statement indicating whether there is an objection to the motion. If the motion is opposed, Defendants must include a statement from Plaintiff indicating the specific grounds for the objection. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion [50] for entry of default and default judgment against all remaining defendants, with the exception of Defendants JIARODEY (No. 26) and neonbar (No. 35). Defendants JIARODEY (No. 26) and neonbar (No. 35) are thus excluded from this Order. All remaining defendants, however, have failed either to plead or to otherwise appear to defend against this action. Accordingly, an order of default is entered under Rule 55(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment must be filed on or before 5/23/2024. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. The Court will also rule on the papers unless a hearing is requested by 5/23/2024. A hearing, to be conducted via teleconferencing, may be requested by filing a Request for Hearing as a separate entry on the docket. 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. Status hearings set for 5/23/2024 and 5/29/2024 are stricken. A tentative default judgment hearing is set for 5/30/2024 at 9:15 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing but will be placed on mute. The call-in number is (855) 244-8681 and the access code is 172 628 1276##.

Plaintiff's deadline to amend the complaint or file a response to Motion [48] is 6/21/2024. Defendant JIARODEY's deadline to file a reply (if response filed) is 7/5/2024.

MOTION by Defendants HQG NeonSign, Jinxiuhe for extension of time UNOPPOSED

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Before the Court is Defendants HQG NeonSign and Jinxiuhe's Unopposed Motion for Extension to Time [61] until 6/7/2024 to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint in order to continue settlement discussions. The Court entered default against Defendants HQG NeonSign and Jinxiuhe [56] on 5/16/2024, and Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of Default Judgment is under advisement. Defendants HQG NeonSign and Jinxiuhe essentially seek to vacate the default entry so that they may respond to Plaintiff's Complaint if they are unable to reach an agreement to settle. The motion [61] is granted as unopposed. The entry of default as to Defendants HQG NeonSign and Jinxiuhe is vacated. Defendants HQG NeonSign and Jinxiuhe shall answer or otherwise respond to the complaint by 6/7/2024. Mailed notice

MOTION by Defendant neonbar for extension of time to file answer regarding complaint[1]

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Before the Court is Defendant neonarbar's Second Motion for Extension to Time [63] to respond to the Complaint. The motion does not state whether Plaintiff opposes the requested relief, as required by the Court's Standing Order Re Civil Motion Practice (available on the Court's web page). Accordingly, the motion [63] is denied without prejudice to refiling with the required statement indicating whether there is an objection to the motion. If the motion is opposed, Defendants must include a statement from Plaintiff indicating the specific grounds for the objection. Mailed notice

MOTION by Defendant neonbar for extension of time to file answer regarding complaint[1] AGREED

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Defendant neonbar's Second Motion for Extension of Time to Answer or Otherwise Plead [65] is granted as unopposed. Defendant neonbar shall answer or otherwise respond to the complaint by 6/12/2024. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's motion [50] for entry of default judgment against all defendants remaining in the case, with the exception of Defendant Nos. 26 (JIARODEY) and 35 (neonbar), is pending before the Court. The Court also notes that the default entered against Defendants No. 25 (HQG NeonSign) and No. 28 (Jinxiuhe) was vacated on 5/17/2024. See Doc. 62. Defendant Nos. 25 (HQG NeonSign), 26 (JIARODEY), No. 28 (Jinxiuhe), and 35 (neonbar) are thus excluded from this order. No remaining defendant has responded to plaintiff's motion for entry of default judgment. Accordingly, the motion [50] is granted. Based on the evidence previously submitted by plaintiff and the admission of liability by virtue of the default, plaintiff has established that a permanent injunction should be entered. The infringement of plaintiff's marks irreparably harms plaintiff and confuses the public. This infringement was willful and statutory damages are awarded. After considering the nature of the products, the price point, the absence of any concrete evidence of lost profits or high-volume infringement by defendants (plaintiff has failed to seek an accounting of profits), the value of plaintiff's brand, and the need to deter infringement that is easily committed and difficult to stop, the Court concludes that $50,000 is an appropriate award of statutory damages. Plaintiff has also certified and established [57] that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the objection deadline, but no objection to the motion for entry of default judgment has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Because no default judgment hearing has been requested, the default judgment hearing tentatively set for 5/30/2024 is stricken. To obtain release of the bond previously posted in this action, Plaintiff's counsel must file a motion for the return of the bond once the preliminary injunction no longer applies to any defendant. By 5/28/2024, Plaintiff shall submit a proposed final judgment order to the Court's proposed order inbox for entry. By 6/14/2024, Plaintiff and Defendant Nos. 25 (HQG NeonSign), No. 28 (Jinxiuhe), and 35 (neonbar) are ordered to file a status report advising whether the parties anticipate a settlement or further litigation. A telephone status hearing is set for 6/18/2024 at 9:15 a.m. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing but will be placed on mute. The call-in number is (855) 244-8681 and the access code is 172 628 1276##. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Mailed notice
