| 8 | 2026-08-14 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Manish S. Shah: The motion to seal 5 is denied. Plaintiff's complaint is against one defendant, and this court is not persuaded that general fears, unsupported by any evidence or declaration specific to the single defendant, that online storefronts will close and money moved provide good cause to conceal defendant's identity in the public court file. Documents necessary to identify defendant and determine the proper method of service of process (usually maintained by third parties, not the defendant) are not likely to be permanently lost. Moving money does not defeat an accounting of past sales and the court doubts that plaintiff intends to pursue an accounting. The court is not likely to order an ex parte prejudgment asset restraint, because plaintiff is likely only pursuing statutory damages. Prejudgment restraints are not to be used to aid collection of damages. The court assumes plaintiff conducted a presuit investigation to support its allegations in the complaint. This case should be handled like any other lawsuit: with public and adversarial litigation. The clerk shall immediately unseal 4 and correct the caption to reflect defendant Yiwu Baoyu E-Commerce Firm. Notices Mailed. |
