Plaintiff is ordered to enter in CM/ECF no later than 5/22/24 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.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Defendant DLseego's opposed motion for leave to file supplemental opposition brief 54 is granted. The Court finds that the defendant establishes good cause for the need to supplement (only recently being apprised of the nature of plaintiff's claims due to the manner in which the plaintiff transmitted screenshot evidence) and that further briefing will not be prejudicial. The supplemental brief is due 5/21/24. If plaintiff has not filed a reply by the time of the entry of this order, its reply brief will be due 5/24/24; if it has, it may file a supplemental reply brief by 5/24/24 as well. The extended TRO remains in place for the reasons set forth in the Court's 5/15/24 order 50. Mailed notice

NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by TV Tokyo Corporation Plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal as to Certain Defendants

67

May 31, 2024

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction 37 is granted as to defendant no. 69, DLSeego. The Court finds that the plaintiff has established a sufficient likelihood that it will succeed on the merits given that the screenshot evidence (reproduced in plaintiff's supplemental motion 58) shows that the NARUTO trademark is being used by defendant and that a significant design element from Plaintiff's copyrighted work is being used on defendant's product and is substantially similar to the symbol in the plaintiff's copyrighted work. Further, the defendant objects to the amount of the asset restraint (but not the restraint itself). It does not provide any evidence to corroborate its unsworn claim regarding the sales amounts, and the Court thus cannot credit it. Enter preliminary injunction order. Mailed notice
