MOTION by Plaintiff Mariann Johansen-Ellis for leave to file excess pages |

Aug. 29, 2025 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Plaintiff's motions for leave to file excess pages and file under seal [12] [13] are granted. The plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order [14] is taken under advisement. Upon review, the screenshots offered in support of the motion do not show a single copyright that was allegedly infringed by each of the defendants listed in the plaintiff's Schedule A, raising a question as to the propriety of joinder. Specifically, there is no apparent connection between the products allegedly infringing copyright VA 2-423-004 and VA 2-423-286, on the one hand, and the products allegedly infringing copyright VA 2-423-284, on the other. Plaintiff is directed to supplement the TRO motion with a brief explaining why joinder is proper notwithstanding the lack of a single copyright common to all defendants. (In other words, the brief should explain why joinder of claims of infringement of different copyrights is appropriate in this case.) If the brief contains new screenshots, those screenshots must be included in an updated version of the certification and index attached to Plaintiff's TRO motion. Alternatively, the plaintiff may amend its complaint to include only defendants alleged to have violated the same copyright and file a renewed motion for entry of a TRO. Mailed notice |

Sept. 10, 2025 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:The plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction [26] is taken under advisement. Any objection or response is due before 9/16/25. Upon review of the declaration of service, the Court directs the plaintiff, by 9/11/25, to publish the preliminary injunction motion to its website along with prominent text advising defendants that (1) a motion for entry of a preliminary injunction has been filed, and (2) any responses or objections to that motion must be filed before 9/16/25. The plaintiff must also provide to each defendant the screenshot evidence relevant to that defendant (that is, screenshot evidence showing the allegedly infringing product or products sold by the defendant) offered in support of the preliminary injunction.
