SUPPLEMENT to motion for temporary restraining order[14]

SEALED EXHIBIT by Plaintiff General Motors LLC Exhibit 1 regarding supplement[22]

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motion for entry of a TRO [14] is taken under advisement. Upon review of the supplemental index, the screenshots do not show a single trademark that was allegedly infringed by each of the defendants listed in the plaintiff's Schedule A, raising a question as to the propriety of joinder. Plaintiff is directed to supplement the TRO motion with a brief explaining why joinder is proper notwithstanding the lack of a single trademark common to all defendants. (In other words, the brief should explain why joinder of claims of infringement of different trademarks is appropriate in this case.) If the brief contains new screenshots, those screenshots must be included in an updated version of the certification and index attached to Plaintiff's TRO motion. Alternatively, the plaintiff may amend its complaint to include only defendants alleged to have violated the same trademark and file a renewed motion for entry of a TRO.Mailed notice
