CONSENT JUDGMENT Signed by the Honorable Mary M. Rowland on 12/12/2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: The Court has reviewed the status report [46]. First, no defendant opposed Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction. Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction [28] is granted. Enter Preliminary Injunction Order. The Clerk is directed to unseal any previously sealed documents in this matter. Plaintiff is ordered to add all Defendant names listed in the Schedule A to the docket within three business days. Instructions can be found on the court's website located at https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/_assets/_documents/_forms/_cmecf/pdfs/v60/Add_Terminate_Instructions.pdf. In addition, is a link to video instructions for Plaintiff to view on how to Add Terminate Party https://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/Videos.aspx?folder=_cmecf&play=Add_Terminate.mp4. On 12/2/25 Defendants Drawfutrue (No. 72) and depphda (No. 79) filed pro se Motions for Extension of time to respond to the complaint. [35] [36]. Plaintiff filed motions to strike [37][38]. The two defendants request until 12/22/25 to respond to the complaint because, they assert, they are attempting to resolve the matter with Plaintiff. Plaintiff objects, correctly, that defendants, as corporate entities, are not permitted to appear in court pro se and that is does not appear that the individual who filed the request is a proper authorized representative of each of the defendants. However, all four of the motions are essentially moot because Plaintiff has filed a request for default judgment. [41]. The Court has allowed all defendants until 12/30/25 to respond to that request. Defendants Drawfutrue (No. 72) and depphda (No. 79) have until 12/30/25 to resolve the case or respond to the Complaint. Motions [35][36][37][38] denied as moot. Mailed notice.
