| 10 | 2026-08-26 | MOTION by Plaintiff Sanren Gao for discovery expedited |
| 12 | 2026-08-27 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: The plaintiffs' motions to seal [5, 9] are denied. Where, as here, the plaintiff seeks expedited discovery rather than a temporary restraining order, the Court finds no basis to permit the case to proceed under seal, particularly given that the discovery process will require disclosure of the defendants' identities. Accordingly, the Clerk is directed to unseal the plaintiff's filings [4] and [8]. Plaintiff is directed to provide notice to the defendants of its intent to pursue expedited discovery. Mailed notice |
| 14 | 2026-08-28 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery [10] is granted. Mailed notice |
