(Exhibit 2-1)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [13], motion for leave to file excess pages [14], and ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, a temporary asset restraint, expedited discovery, and for electronic service of process [15] are granted as to the defendants listed in Amended Schedule A. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Accordingly, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, plaintiff may file under seal the documents identified in the motion to seal. The Temporary Restraining Order being entered along with this minute order shall also be placed under seal. In addition, for the purpose of the motions cited above, plaintiff's filings support proceeding on an ex parte basis at this time. Specifically, and as noted above, were defendants to be informed of this proceeding before a TRO could issue, the Court finds that it is likely that their assets and websites would be redirected, thus defeating plaintiff's interests in identifying defendants, stopping defendants' infringing conduct, and obtaining an accounting. In addition, the evidence submitted by plaintiff shows a likelihood of success on the merits (including evidence of active infringement and sales into Illinois), that the harm to plaintiff is irreparable, and that an injunction is in the public interest. An injunction serves the public interest because of the consumer confusion caused by counterfeit goods, and there is no countervailing harm to defendants from an order directing them to stop infringement. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it effectively communicates the pendency of this action to defendants. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify defendants and to implement the asset freeze. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. Status hearing is set for 9/22/25 at 9:00 a.m. to track the case only. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice

MOTION by Plaintiff Edward Wargo for preliminary injunction

MEMORANDUM by Edward Wargo in support of motion for preliminary injunction 23

Declaration of Keith A. Vogt

(Exhibit 1, Declaration of Keith Vogt)

SUMMONS Returned Executed by Edward Wargo as to The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A on 7/29/2025, answer due 8/19/2025.

(Declaration of Service, Keith A. Vogt)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Before the Court is plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction 23. In connection with that motion, plaintiff must serve all remaining defendants with the following statement: "The Court has taken the motion for a preliminary injunction under advisement and will consider the motion unopposed if no defendant appears and objects by or before August 15, 2025." If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. 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. For the reasons stated in the Court's order entering the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date upon which the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Mailed notice. (jn,)

CERTIFICATE of Service by Keith A. Vogt on behalf of Edward Wargo regarding text entry, 26

NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by All Plaintiffs as to [certain] defendants

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: Plaintiff's motion for a preliminary injunction 23 is granted as to the remaining defendants. Plaintiff's filings establish that it has acted expeditiously to protect its interests and that there remains a significant risk defendants will transfer relevant assets beyond the Court's reach. For these reasons, as well as the reasons provided in the whole of plaintiff's filings and as stated by the Court in connection with entry of the TRO, the Court is persuaded that plaintiff has satisfied the requirements for a preliminary injunction. In addition, the Court finds that the balance of harms favors plaintiff and that a preliminary injunction serves the public interest by, among other things, protecting consumers from the marketing of counterfeit goods. Plaintiff has also certified and established that it provided electronic notice to defendants of the pendency of this action and the motion, but no objection to the motion for a preliminary injunction has been filed on behalf of any defendant. Plaintiff's counsel shall submit an updated proposed preliminary injunction order reflecting the remaining defendants by 9/2/25. Plaintiff's counsel is directed to ensure that all remaining defendants listed on Schedule A are added to the court's docket within five business days. The Clerk is requested to unseal any previously-sealed documents. If plaintiff intends to move for default judgment as to any remaining defendants, any such motion shall be filed by 9/30/25. The 9/22/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and re-set to 10/31/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice
