MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: Before the Court is Plaintiff's motion for alternative service or other relief [23]. In the motion, Plaintiff states that marketplace platform Alibaba has "refused to comply with the TRO, refusing to provide email addresses, other identifying information, and take other action as outlined in the TRO." On that basis, and based upon Plaintiff's unrebutted assertions, the Court grants the request to serve the unknown Alibaba Defendants through service on Alibaba directly, and through providing notice of the proceedings in the case to the unknown Alibaba Defendants by electronically publishing a link to the Complaint and relevant documents.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court denies Plaintiff's motion to extend the temporary restraining order (TRO) [19]. The TRO [12] has already been extended by a period of 14 days [17]. Plaintiff has not argued that Defendants have consented to this extension. The Court declines to extend the TRO beyond the 28-day period, and denies the motion with prejudice. H-D Michigan, LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 844 (7th Cir. 2012) ("In our view, the language of Rule 65(b)(2) and the great weight of authority support the view that 28 days is the outer limit for a TRO without the consent of the enjoined party, regardless of whether the TRO was issued with or without notice.")

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motions, the Court grants Plaintiff's ex parte motion for a temporary restraining order, including a temporary injunction, temporary asset restraint, and expedited discovery 5, motion for alternative service 7, and motion for leave to file under seal 9. Provided that Plaintiff provides the security described in paragraph 11 of the temporary restraining order, the temporary restraining order shall become effective on 08/23/2024 at 6:00 p.m. and shall expire in fourteen (14) days from the effective date. The Court finds that joinder of the "Schedule A" Defendants is proper at this preliminary stage. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A). The Court notes that no Defendants are prejudiced by permitting joinder at this juncture. See Bose Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 334 F.R.D. 511, 517 (N.D. Ill. 2020). To the extent any defendant appears and objects to joinder, the Court will revisit the issue and is free to sever certain defendants from the case under Rule 21 at that time. Mailed notice.
