DECLARATION of Justin R. Gaudio regarding memorandum in support of motion[20]

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process [19] is granted. The plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order [14] is taken under advisement. In addition to the previously ordered supplement [11], by 8/20/25, the plaintiff is required to supplement its motion with (1) a certification that the plaintiff has not used any of the screenshot evidence supplied in support of its motion in any prior proceeding, and (2) an index that matches each defendant to the screenshots supplied in support of the motion, lists the dates those screenshots were taken, and identifies, on a defendant-by-defendant basis, the specific trademarks each defendant has allegedly infringed. Mailed notice

MOTION by Plaintiff DreamWorks Animation LLC for leave to file under seal

SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff DreamWorks Animation LLC Supplement to Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion for Entry of a Temporary Restraining Order [14]

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Plaintiff's motions to seal [3] [23] are granted. Upon review of the supplemental index, [24] the screenshots do not show a single trademark or copyright 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 or copyright common to all defendants. (In other words, the brief should explain why joinder of claims of infringement of different IP 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 (seemingly all defendants but defendant nos. 31, 40, 49, 52) and file a renewed motion for entry of a TRO.
