ORDER granting in part 34 Motion to Seal; denying without prejudice 23 Motion for TRO. Plaintiff's renewed application for a temporary restraining order is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. The renewed application fails to address the deficienci es in the prior application, but the Court will afford plaintiff one more chance. file a redacted version of all sealed exhibits from both motions on the public docket. Any information pertinent to defendants where the only claim is trademark infrin gement should be unredacted in line with the Court's views above on the merits of those claims. Information pertinent to other claims may be redacted. The Court will unseal all documents in 30 days absent justification from plaintiff for any ext ension. The Court's repeated rejection of plaintiff's applications is not intended to be punitive. The Court realizes that many courts simply rubber stamp these applications to get them off their docket. But the relief plaintiff seeks is si gnificant and ex parte. Under these circumstances, it's important to enforce the rules and standards that apply to the granting of this kind of extraordinary relief. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motions at Dkts. 23 and 34. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Arun Subramanian on 4/22/2026) (sgz) Modified on 4/23/2026 (sgz).
