07/23/24	Zhang 1:24-CV-03794 ( N.D. IL )	MEMORANDUM by Guanyi Zhang in Opposition to motion for extension of time to file answer 42 (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A, # 2 Exhibit A-1)(Poplin, Allen Justin) (Entered: 07/23/2024)
07/23/24	Zhang 1:24-CV-03794 ( N.D. IL )	RESPONSE by Guanyi Zhangin Opposition to MOTION by Defendant FADLIGHT to compel Response from Plaintiff 43 (Poplin, Allen Justin) (Entered: 07/23/2024)
07/23/24	Zhang 1:24-CV-03794 ( N.D. IL )	MOTION by Defendant FADLIGHT to compel Response from Plaintiff (Liu, Jianyin) (Entered: 07/23/2024)
07/23/24	Zhang 1:24-CV-03794 ( N.D. IL )	MOTION by Defendant FADLIGHT for extension of time to file answer regarding complaint 2 (Liu, Jianyin) (Entered: 07/23/2024)
07/18/24	Zhang 1:24-CV-03794 ( N.D. IL )	NOTICE by FADLIGHT re response in opposition to motion, 37 of Correcting Exhibit "A" of Response to Motion for Preliminary Injunction (Attachments: # 1 Exhibit A- Non-Final Rejection USPTO)(Liu, Jianyin) (Entered: 07/18/2024)
07/17/24	Zhang 1:24-CV-03794 ( N.D. IL )	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: The Court is in receipt of defendant Fadlight's "emergency" motion to lift TRO 39 . Fadlight's motion 39 is entered and continued as follows. First, the Court's case management procedures for emergency motions (available on the Court's website) require any party seeking to file an emergency motion to contact the Court's courtroom deputy before filing the motion, not after filing, as appears to have been the case here. Second, in its motion, defendant Fadlight asks the Court to lift the previously entered TRO because, in its view, the TRO expired on 7/1/24. However, on 6/27/24, this Court ordered as follows: "For the reasons stated in the Court's order entering the TRO, the TRO is extended to and including the date upon which the Court adjudicates the motion for a preliminary injunction. See H-D Mich., LLC v. Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 843-45 (7th Cir. 2012). Because this extension exceeds the maximum duration for a TRO under Fed.R.Civ.P. 65(b), this extension "becomes in effect a preliminary injunction that is appealable, but the order remains effective." Id. at 844. Plaintiff's motion for preliminary injunction, along with defendant's response, remains under advisement with plaintiff's reply due 8/5/24. Finally, defense counsel reports he has been unable to reach plaintiff's counsel to discuss this matter. Plaintiff's counsel and counsel for defendant Fadlight are directed to meet and confer to determine whether they can reach an agreement regarding the relief requested in defendant's motion. If the parties resolve this motion, they shall promptly notify the Court. Otherwise, plaintiff shall include its response to the motion in its forthcoming reply in support of its motion for preliminary injunction and the Court will resolve the motion in due course.
