The court concludes that the copyrighted work and the allegedly infringing works are too different to justify extraordinary, ex parte injunctive relief. The clerk shall unseal all filings and to proceed with this case, plaintiff must serve defendants and afford defendants an opportunity to be heard on the accusations of infringement. Notices Mailed.
