Exhibit 1

Exhibit 2

Notice of Withdrawal of Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Under Seal by Volkswagen Group of America, Inc.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff initially sued 94 separate defendants in this single trademark infringement case, see [1], [2]. Once the case was assigned to this Court, however, Plaintiff, without any order from this Court, amended its complaint to name just one defendant, [14], thus avoiding any potential joinder issues. Before proceeding on the amended complaint, Plaintiff must file, by 12/16/25, a listing of any of the defendants included in the initial Schedule A in this case that the Plaintiff has previously named as a defendant in any prior complaint or Schedule A case. Based upon Plaintiff's withdrawal, the Clerk shall terminate the motion for leave to seal [4] as a pending motion. Mailed notice.

RESPONSE by Plaintiff Volkswagen Group of America, Inc. to order on motion for leave to file, terminate deadlines and hearings, [16]

ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/31/2025: Mailed notice.
