NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Yiwu Baimei Electronic Commerce Co., Ltd., a Chinese Limited Corporation AS TO DEFENDANTS (No.91) Haolei, (No.110) INENIMARTJ DIRECT, and (No. 219) tbna

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion for reconsideration [233] is partly granted and partly denied. The Court does not need any sur-reply. On February 12, 2025, the Court modified that asset restraint as to Defendants Amolela and Highven to $5,000 after explaining that the originally frozen amounts appeared to be disproportionate to the allegedly infringing activity. [See [230] ("These Defendants object to the scope of the asset freeze, arguing that approximately $35,000 in frozen assets as to Defendant Amolela and $85,000 as to Defendant Highven is unreasonable in light of profits from the alleged infringement that do not exceed $40 in the case of Amolela and $2,900 in the case of Highven")]. On reconsideration, Plaintiff argues that Court should set the asset restraint at the amount of funds present in Defendants' respective bank accounts as of February 12, 2025. In support, Plaintiff points to contradictory sales and revenue figures about Defendants' Amazon sales: specifically, that Amolela sold $217 worth of products (not $40) and Defendant Highven sold $22,200 worth of products (not $2,900). Plaintiff supports the new sales numbers from Amazon through declarations, and its reply brief includes some records received from Amazon. For their part, Defendants argue that, at most, the asset restraint should only be adjusted to reflect the newly summarized revenue amounts and not their account balances which are used to allow Defendants to operate and run their business. The Court agrees. The asset restraint as to Defendants Amolela and Highven are each modified to $22,000 apiece. This amount is still considerably lower that the amounts originally frozen and strikes a better balance of the necessary considerations given the showing Plaintiff has been made. Defendants' Amolela and Highven answer remains due by March 14, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's response to the motion to dismiss [274] is due by March 25, 2025 and Defendant Lvtian and Raregobal's reply is due by April 8, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: By oversight, the Court denied the motion for reconsideration at docket entry [233] as moot but should not have done so.

By email correspondence, the Court has confirmed that Plaintiff wishes to reply to the motion to reconsider, so Plaintiff may file any reply by March 11, 2025. The Court will rule by cm/ecf. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Several Defendants in the case have answered or are scheduled to file an answer in the coming weeks. Plaintiff shall take the lead on proposing an agreed fact discovery schedule with all remaining Defendants and the parties are to confer on the subject and file an agreed fact discovery schedule by March 19, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendants Amolela (No.6), and Highven (No. 99)'s motion for extension for time [268] is granted. The motion to dismiss [184] is denied as moot. These Defendants' answer is now due by March 14, 2025. Mailed notice.

Jenkins: As to Defendant Haolei (No. 91), INENIMARTJ DIRECT (No. 110), Plaintiff did not file any brief opposing the motion to modify the asset restraint by February 26, 2025 (see docket [234]) so the Court assumes that the parties reached an agreement as to the asset modification, so the Court takes no further action on these Defendants' motion [231] to modify.

If the parties cannot reach an agreement, Plaintiff has until February 26, 2025 to respond to the motion and the Court will select the appropriate modification based on the parties' briefs and similar modifications to restraints already made in this case as to other Defendants. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion to modify the asset restraint as to Defendants Amolela and Highven [195] is granted in part. These Defendants object to the scope of the asset freeze, arguing that approximately $35,000 in frozen assets as to Defendant Amolela and $85,000 as to Defendant Highven is unreasonable in light of profits from the alleged infringement that do not exceed $40 in the case of Amolela and $2,900 in the case of Highven. Plaintiff responds that the motion is untimely, that it would suffer irreparable harm by reducing the restraint, and that Defendants' submissions as to sales figures are not reliable. Plaintiff is correct that Defendants' submission includes disorganized exhibits that are difficult to follow. But ultimately, the Court concludes that the freeze appears to be disproportionate to the allegedly infringing activity, and some reduction is warranted. The Court will set the asset restraint at $5,000. Plaintiff must submit a revised proposed preliminary injunction order on or before February 14, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion for jurisdictional discovery [220] and to stay briefing is largely denied. Plaintiff sought its first extension of time in January 2025 [see [206]], which the Court granted, and then it waited until the date its response brief was due (yesterday) to request a stay and time for the parties to conduct jurisdictional discovery. But generally, a plaintiff must be able to establish a colorable or prima facie showing of personal jurisdiction before discovery should be permitted. See In re Sheehan, 48 F.4th 513, 526 (7th Cir. 2022) (cleaned up); HAMANN GmbH v. The Individuals, 21-cv-3591, Dkt. 53 ("The Court finds the sum of these presentations sufficient to establish a prima facie showing of personal jurisdiction. Therefore, limited jurisdictional discovery is warranted.") Plaintiff's response to the motion to dismiss, which was due by February 10, 2025 is now due by February 18, 2025. The moving Defendants' reply is now due by February 21, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Certain Defendants' opposed, fifth motion for extension of time [222] is granted, but there will be no further extensions. The moving Defendants' answers are due no later than March 10, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:Plaintiff's response to Highven and Amolela's motion to dismiss 184 due on February 5, 2025 should also address these Defendants' motion to modify the asset restraint 195. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The Court imposes the following fact discovery schedule, which applies to all parties listed in the status report filed at docket entry 193; the Court advises Defendants Highven and Amolela (who have a pending motion to dismiss) that these Defendants will be subject to this fact discovery schedule should the motion to dismiss be denied. Rule 26(a)(1) disclosures are due by February 17, 2025; written discovery may issue beginning on February 27, 2025; any amendments to the pleadings must be made by May 26, 2025; all fact discovery shall be noticed in time for completion by October 15, 2025.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion to modify the asset restraint as to Defendants choice of all, CHUYUN, Explosion Zing, Frodete, Fun Iland, Harry and Henry, Joctly, Leebreez, Osemind, U Elegant 4 All, YANCHUN JEWELLRY, Aonklot, Aouaos Jewelry 137 is granted in part. The moving Defendants are that the asset restraint should not exceed their revenue of $47,670.26 from the accused products and all other assets above this amount should be released. Plaintiff responds that the motion is untimely, that the restraint is appropriate because Plaintiff seeks the equitable remedy of accounting for profits as authorized by 15 U.S.C. § 1117, and that it is Defendants' burden to prove that the retrained funds are not the proceeds of counterfeiting. The Court agrees that the freeze appears to be disproportionate to the allegedly infringing activity, so it will modify the restraint to some degree. Defendants' filings do not clearly establish the balances in the relevant accounts and instead have provided an "incomprehensible list" of the accused infringing products. As a result, the Court will set the asset restraint at $65,000. Plaintiff must submit a revised proposed preliminary injunction order on or before January 24, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion to modify the asset restraint as to Defendants CHENGBEI, DAYKABENGSY, hefengxianxianghuixinwujinyouxiangongsi, JIAJUGUIFU, JIANYAXUAN, ligtyer, Lusbees, MENGSHI, MMyuds, taoshengyuanshangyemaoyiyouxiangongsi, WUGOCa, xingfengshangmaoyouxiangongsi, Yeahkoty, ZHENXI, zhongdengwen, zhuyuanyurunfushi, ZKWLXS, zzaqy, ABALAX, Asjcj, babyHUIH 143 is granted in part. These Defendants object only to the scope of the asset freeze, arguing that $0 of the approximately $75,000 in frozen assets stem from revenue of the accused item. Plaintiff responds that the motion is untimely, that the restraint is appropriate because Plaintiff seeks the equitable remedy of accounting for profits as authorized by 15 U.S.C. § 1117, and that it is Defendants' burden to prove that the retrained funds are not the proceeds of counterfeiting. But at its core, Plaintiff does not meaningfully dispute the proposition that none of the restrained assets stem from revenue of the accused item. True, Plaintiff's take issue with the form the form of the declaration Defendants' offer and argue that Defendants have failed to provide an explanation as to the source of the restrained funds. But Plaintiffs have not shown that they are entitled to a freeze the proceeds in the defendants' account given that the freeze appears to be disproportionate to the allegedly infringing activity. The Court will set the asset restraint at $5,000. Plaintiff must submit a revised proposed preliminary injunction order on or before January 24, 2025. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendant Mguotp's motion to dismiss 38 is denied. Mgutop did not file a reply to the motion to dismiss by the December 13, 2024 deadline, so the Court considers only the motion and Plaintiff's reply. As to the question of personal jurisdiction, Plaintiff's complaint makes the necessary allegation that Defendant sold and shipped and offered to sell and ship its goods in Illinois. [Dkt. 1 at 3, 33.] Taking Plaintiff's allegation that Defendant has conducted some amount of business in Illinois as true, there would appear to be at least a prima facie showing to support the Court's exercise of jurisdiction. Defendant's only argument is that the Court lacks personal jurisdiction because it "has never sold any infringing products to the state of Illinois up to the date." [Dkt. 38-1 at para. 2.] But this assertion supports jurisdiction even if Defendant's sales involved products other than those at issue in the lawsuit. To support the exercise of specific jurisdiction, a suit "must arise out of or relate to the defendant's contacts with the forum," but the relationship need not be strictly causal. Ford Motor Co. v. Mont. Eighth Jud. Dist. Ct., 592 U.S. 351, 359-62 (2021) (cleaned up). The key is foreseeability: "potential defendants should have some control over, and certainly should not be surprised by, the jurisdictional consequences of their actions." Tamburo v. Dworkin, 601 F.3d 693, 701 (7th Cir. 2010) (cleaned up). Defendant Mgutop's answer to the complaint is due by December 27, 2024. Mailed notice.
