MOTION by Plaintiff Hong Kong Leyuzhen Technology Co. Limited for temporary restraining order RENEWED

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff's motion for electronic service [13] is granted (emphasizing that simple publication is not enough, electronic service is also required). Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages [14] is also granted. Plaintiff's motion for entry of an ex parte temporary restraining order [15] is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff proposes to have the Court enter the TRO ex parte and under seal. But the draft order still needs to give the name of the actual defendant, not the anonymized name used in the current draft order. Otherwise the platform(s) upon which plaintiff serves the TRO will not be provided fair notice of who the defendant is. Plaintiff should refile the motion along with an appropriate order including the defendant's actual name. If the Court is getting something wrong here, then plaintiff should file a motion to reconsider.
