O[ For further details see text below.] Notices mailed by Judicial staff. STATEMENT Before the Court is Leo Stoller's ("Stoller") Motion for Reconsideration of the Court's August 17, 2009 Memorandum Opinion and Order denying his Motion to Intervene. ®. 111.) For the reasons stated, Stoller's Motion for Reconsideration is denied. Plaintiff Google, Inc. ("Google") filed a civil RICO action against Defendants Central Mfg. Inc. ("Central") a/k/a Central Mf. Co. a/k/a Central Mfg. Co (Inc.) a/k/a Central Manufacturing Company Inc. a/k/a Central Mfg. Co. of Illinois and Stealth Industries, Inc. ("Rentamark") a/k/a Rentamark and a/k/a Rentamark.com (collectively "Defendants") on January 19, 2007, alleging, among other things, that the Defendants and their purported principal, Stoller, are engaged in a scheme of falsely claiming trademark rights for the purpose of attempting to extort money out of legitimate commercial actors. ®. 1.) On February 6, 2007, Stoller filed a Motion to Intervene in this action which the Court denied, finding that Stoller did not have a "direct, significant legally protectable interest" in the suit because he was acting as president of the "corporate" defendants when he undertook the actions described in the Complaint, and that as a result of his bankruptcy case he no longer held a stake in those businesses. ®. 16, R. 38.) Subsequently, the Court approved the settlement agreed to by Google and the Trustee of Stoller's bankruptcy estate and entered the permanent injunction contemplated by that agreement. ®. 57-58.) Stoller appealed both the denial of his motion to intervene and the final judgment in the lawsuit. The Seventh Circuit consolidated Stoller's appeals, vacated the final judgment issued and remanded the case for reconsideration of Stoller's Motion to Intervene. See Google, Inc. v. Central Mfg. Inc. and Stealth Industries, Inc., Nos. 07-1569, 07-1612, 07-1651, 2008 WL 896376, at *5 (7th Cir. 2008). In remanding the case, the Seventh Circuit directed the Court to "resolve in the first instance whether [Central and Rentamark] are entities that are subject to suit, whether and under what circumstances Goolge's suit in its present form can proceed without Stoller if they are not, and whether any of the unlawful conduct Google alleges gave rise to a claim that even involves the Chapter 7 estate." Id. After receiving the mandate, the Court reinstated Stoller's Motion to Intervene and permitted him to file a supplemental brief in support of his motion. ®. 93.) 07C385 GOOGLE INC vs. CENTRAL MANUFACTURING INC et al Page 1 of 4 CCsee 1:07-cv-00385 Document 141 aas 1:07-cv-00385 Document 134 Filed 10/20/2009 Page 23 of 45 Filed 10/16/2009 Page 2 4 STATEMENT On August 17, 2009, the Court issued a Memorandum Opinion and Order denying Stoller's Motion to Intervene finding that despite the fact that Central and Rentamark are Stoller's alter egos, Stoller cannot use the doctrine of "piercing the corporate veil" offensively to defend a lawsuit. ®. 110, at 7.) The Court noted that piercing the corporate veil is utilized only to protect third parties who have relied on the existence of the separate corporate entity, not for the benefit of the corporation itself or its shareholders. See id. After determining that Stoller was not permitted to intervene as a matter of right, per the Seventh Circuit's mandate, the Court ordered the parties to submit position papers on whether Central and Rentamark are entities that are subject to suit, and whether Google's claim arose prior to or after Stoller filed for bankruptcy to determine whether Google's claim even involves the Chapter 7 estate. (R. 110, at 9.) In its position paper, submitted on September 30, 2009, Google notified the Court that The Society for the Prevention of Trademark Abuse, LLC (the "SPTA") acquired all stock and other assets of Central and Rentamark in a bankruptcy auction under the auspices and with the approval of the Bankruptcy Court. ®. 121, at 1.)1 Therefore, Stoller's Chapter 7 Trustee is no longer Central and Rentamark's representative but instead the entities are now under the ownership and control of the SPTA. ®. 121, at 2; R. 122-2, at 16-60.) On August 20, 2007, the same day that the SPTA acquired ownership of Central and Rentamark, the SPTA, as the new stockholder of the corporate entity Defendants, removed Stoller from "any and all positions, offices and capacities in connection with each of the corporations." ®. 121, at 3; R. 122-2, at 62-63.) Subsequently, on January 29, 2008 and April 24, 2008, the SPTA dissolved Central and Rentamark. ®. 121, at 4; R. 122, Exs., 13, 14.) Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 59(e) serves the limited function of allowing courts to correct manifest errors of law or fact or consider newly discovered material evidence. See Bordelon v. Chicago Sch. Reform Bd. Of Trustees, 233 F.3d 524, 529 (7th Cir. 2000); see also Oto v. Metropolitan Life Ins. Co., 224 F.3d 601, 606 (7th Cir. 2000) (manifest error is the wholesale disregard, misapplication, or failure to recognize controlling precedent). However, Rule 59(e) "does not provide a vehicle for a party to undo its own procedural failures, and it certainly does not allow a party to introduce new evidence or advance legal arguments that could and should have been presented to the district court prior to the judgment." Moro v. Shell Oil Co., 91 F.3d 872, 876 (7th Cir. 1996). Reconsideration is only appropriate when "the Court has patently misunderstood a party or has made a decision outside the adversarial issues presented to the Court by the parties or has made an error not of reasoning but of apprehension." Bank of Waunakee v. Rochester Cheese Sales, Inc., 906 F.2d 1185, 1191 (7th Cir. 1990) (internal quotations omitted). Whether to grant a Rule 59(e) motion "is entrusted to the sound judgment of the district court." Matter of Prince, 85 F.3d 314, 324 (7th Cir. 1996). Stoller's Motion for Reconsideration sets forth no newly discovered material evidence and does not identify any controlling precedent that the Court failed to recognize, misapplied or wholly disregarded. Instead, it reiterates Stoller's previous argument that "Leo Stoller has a protectable interest in this case which the existing parties may not adequately represent Stoller's interests," and goes on to assert that his "reputation" as a "nationally recognized trademark expert" will be permanently damaged if he is not allowed to defend himself in this case. ®. 111, at 3.) Although the Court must construe pro se filings liberally, even litigants proceeding without the benefit of counsel must articulate some reason for disturbing the Court's judgment. See Anderson v. Hardman, 241 F.3d 544, 545 (7th Cir. 2001). Here, Stoller offers no articulable basis for disturbing the Court's previous ruling denying his Motion to Intervene. Courts have repeatedly held that purported injury to one's reputation is an insufficient interest for intervention of right. See e.g., People Who Care v. Rockford Bd. of Educ., Sch. Dist. No. 205, 179 F.R.D. 551, 562 (N.D. Ill. 1998) (effect on "political reputation" not a legally cognizable interest for intervention of right). Furthermore, this argument was available to Stoller when he filed his opening, supplemental and reply brief in support of his Motion to Intervene; he has not set for any newly discovered evidence. Google, however, has submitted new evidence to the Court which further supports the Court's denial of Stoller's Motion to Intervene; Stoller no longer has any interest or ownership in either Central or Rentamark and therefore has no interest related "to the property or the transaction which is the subject of the action." See 07C385 GOOGLE INC vs. CENTRAL MANUFACTURING INC et al Page 2 of 4 CCase 1:07-cv-00385 Document 141 ase 1:07-cv-00385 Document 134 Filed 10/20/2009 Page 24 of 45 Filed 10/16/2009 Page 3 4 STATEMENT Fed.R.Civ.P. 24(a). Accordingly, Stoller has failed to establish that the Court erred as to law or fact or that he has newly discovered material evidence. See Bordelon, 233 F.3d at 529. A meritorious motion to reconsider is rare and under Stoller's circumstances should not be granted. See Bank of Waunakee, 906 F.2d at 1191. Therefore, Stoller's Motion to Reconsider is denied. Furthermore, as previously mentioned, since the Seventh Circuit's mandate, the Court has received new material information related to the corporate entity Defendants and Stoller's interest in those Defendants. Therefore, when the Seventh Circuit issued its mandate it did so under a different set of facts and circumstances. Currently, the corporate entity Defendants, Central and Rentamark, are no longer part of Stoller's bankruptcy estate but instead are currently under the control and ownership of the SPTA and the SPTA removed Stoller from "any and all positions, offices, and capacities in connection with each of the corporations." ®. 121.) Therefore, Google's claims against Central and Rentamark no longer involve Stoller's Chapter 7 estate. Furthermore, the circumstances giving rise to the Seventh Circuit's concern as to whether Central and Rentamark are entities that are subject to suit no longer exist because under the ownership and control of the SPTA they are no longer Stoller's alter egos. See Palen v. Daewoo Motor Co., 832 N.E. 2d 173, 185 (Ill. App. Ct. 2005) (suits against legally nonexistent entities renders the suit void ab initio). Put another way, after the SPTA acquired all stock and assets in Central and Rentamark, they became corporate entities distinguishable from Stoller and not just trade names through which Stoller conducts business as an individual, making them entities that are subject to suit.2 Lastly, in his Motion for Reconsideration Stoller requests that the Court suspend the current action pending his appeal of the denial of his Motion to Intervene if his Motion to Reconsider is denied. ®. 111, at ¶ 10.) Having no right to intervene, however, Stoller has no right to file a motion to suspend ongoing proceedings. Stoller has not identified-and this Court is not aware of-any procedural mechanism by which a non-party may file a motion to suspend ongoing proceedings without intervening therein. 1. The Court notes that despite the fact that the Bankruptcy Court approved the sale of Central and Rentamark's stocks and assets to the SPTA on August 8, 2007, and all stock and assets in Central and Rentamark were transferred to the SPTA on August 20, 2007, Google did not bring this information to the Court's attention until September 09, 2009, when it made a mere passing reference to the SPTA's acquisition of Central and Rentamark. It was not until September 30, 2009, when it filed its position paper in response to the Court's request for additional information pursuant to the Seventh Circuit's mandate that Google provided the Court with additional information regarding the status of Stoller's bankruptcy proceedings and the transfer of Central's and Rentamark's stocks and assets to the SPTA. 2. The Court notes that Central's and Rentamark's dissolution does not prevent them from being subject to suit in the present action. Under both Illinois and Delaware state law, a corporation can participate in litigation after being dissolved if the litigation was initiated before or within five years or three years, respectively, after dissolution. See 805 ILCS 5/12.80 (corporation can sue or be sued on claims brought before and up to five years post-dissolution); 8 Del. C. § 278 (corporation can sue or be sued on claims brought before and up to three years post dissolution.). Here, Google filed its Complaint against Central and Rentamark on January 19, 2007 and the corporate entities were dissolved in January and April 2008, respectively. Therefore, Central and Rentamark, although dissolved are still subject to suit in this case. 07C385 GOOGLE INC vs. CENTRAL MANUFACTURING INC et al Page 3 of 4 CCsee 1:07-cv-00385 Document 141 aas 1:07-cv-00385 Document 134 Filed 10/20/2009 Page 25 of 45 Filed 10/16/2009 Page 4 4 07C385 GOOGLE INC vs. CENTRAL MANUFACTURING INC et al Page 4 of 4 CCsee 1:07-cv-00385 Document 141 aas 1:07-cv-00385 Document 135 Filed 10/20/2009 Page 26 of 45 Filed 10/16/2009 Page 1 1 UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE Northern District of Illinois - CM/ECF LIVE, Ver 3.2.3 Eastern Division Google Inc Plaintiff, v.

CCsee 1:07-cv-00385 Document 141 aas 1:07-cv-00385 Document 136 Filed 10/20/2009 Page 28 of 45 Filed 10/16/2009 Page 2 6 This Stipulated Permanent Injunction and Final Judgment is entered into, on the one hand, by Plaintiff Google Inc. ("Google") and, on the other hand, by Defendant Central Mfg. Inc., also known without limitation as Central Mfg. Co., Central Mfg. Co. (Inc.), Central Manufacturing Company, Inc. and/or Central Mfg. Co. of Illinois (collectively, "Central Mfg."), and Defendant Stealth Industries, Inc. ("Stealth") (collectively, Central Mfg. and Stealth are the "Entity Defendants"). The parties having stipulated to the entry of the following Stipulated Permanent Injunction and Final Judgment, and good cause appearing for the entry thereof: 1. Pursuant to the Assignment attached hereto as Exhibit 1 and as approved by Order of the United States Bankruptcy Court for the Northern District of Illinois, The Society for the Prevention of Trademark Abuse, LLC, a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware (hereinafter The Society), has acquired all right, title and interest in the stock and all other assets, including any and all trademark rights, held by the Entity Defendants. The Sale of the Assets to the Purchaser was free and clear of all liens and all other claims whatsoever pursuant to Section 363(f) of the Bankruptcy Code, whether known or unknown, including, but not limited to, liens and claims of any of the Debtor's creditors, vendors, suppliers, employees or lessors, and The Society is not liable in any way (as a successor to the Debtor or otherwise) for any claims that any of the foregoing or any other third party may have against the Debtor or the Assets. Any and all alleged liens and claims on the Assets were transferred, affixed, and attached to the proceeds of the Sale, with the same validity, priority, force, and effect as such liens had been upon such property immediately prior to the Closing. Debtor or any person or entity acting in concert with the debtor were and continue to be enjoined from asserting any right, title, interest or claim in the assets following consummation of the sale by the trustee. 2. Leo Stoller was discharged as an officer or representative in any capacity of the Entity Defendants on August 20, 2007. Lance G. Johnson became the President of the Entity Defendants and oversaw the dissolution of the incorporated Entity Defendants by April 2008. All assets and claims for each of the Entity Defendants have been assigned to The Society. The Society thus stands as a successor in interest to any claims available to any of the Entity Defendants. 3. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 and 1338, 18 U.S.C. § 1964(c) and principles of supplemental jurisdiction under 28 U.S.C. § 1367(a), as well as personal jurisdiction over the Entity Defendants.

The Entity Defendants have been duly served with the summons and Complaint in this matter. If service is required in The Society, The Society hereby waives service and acknowledges receipt of the Complaint in this matter. 5. Judgment is hereby entered in favor of Plaintiff Google, and against each of the Entity Defendants and The Society, on Plaintiff Google's claims for false advertising in violation of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(B), for violations of the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1961 et seq. and for unfair competition. 6.
