Having considered Plaintiffs' Emergency Ex Parte Application and Motion for an

2 Order (1) for seizure of goods bearing counterfeit trademarks and containing infringing 3 copyrighted material and records relating thereto; (2) for inspection and inventory of goods 4 bearing infringing trademarks and containing infringing material and records relating thereto; 5 (3) temporarily restraining Defendants; (4) to show cause re preliminary injunction; and (5) 6 for expedited discovery, and the papers in support thereof, the Court hereby grants said 7 Application and Motion. The Court finds that: 8
A. Plaintiffs DanceSport Videos LLC and Digital Video Creations, Inc.

9 (collectively, DanceSport) have shown that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their 10 infringement and counterfeiting claims based on Defendants' wrongful use of DanceSport's 11 federally registered "CORE RHYTHMS" marks and federally registered copyrighted material 12 in connection with counterfeit exercise DVDs; 13
B. Plaintiffs are being irreparably harmed by Defendants' advertising, marketing,

14 distributing, offering for sale, and sale of certain infringing products. Defendants' acts will 15 confuse and deceive the public and the trade as to the origin of the Defendants' counterfeit 16 goods and will cause immediate and irreparable injury, loss and damage to DanceSport, its 17 trademarks, copyrights and trade dress, and the valuable goodwill and reputation associated 18 therewith and that such injury, loss and damage is more likely to be sustained by DanceSport 19 if the Defendants are given notice of this litigation prior to the issuance of the Order of 20 Seizure and the Temporary Restraining Order hereinafter specified and thereby given time to 21 dispose of or move the counterfeit goods and other possible relevant evidence; and 22
C. The balance of hardships tips in favor of Plaintiffs and that the public interest

23 weighs in favor of granting a temporary restraining order and issuing an OSC re: preliminary 24 injunction; and 25
D. Plaintiffs have made a showing that ex parte relief is warranted given, inter

26 alia, that Defendants are using counterfeits of marks registered on the Principal Register of 27 the United States Patent and Trademark Office in connection with the distribution, offering 28 for sale and selling of goods (i.e., exercise DVDs); that Defendants are representing their

2

1 products as being genuine and from the manufacturer when they are neither; that Defendants 2 have infringed and are infringing Plaintiff's copyrights, trade dress and trademarks; that the 3 counterfeit goods are virtually indistinguishable from the genuine goods authorized by 4 DanceSport; and that Defendants threaten to continue such acts unless immediately restrained 5 by Order of this Court; and 6
E. An order other than an ex parte seizure order is not adequate to enjoin the

7 counterfeiting and infringing of Plaintiffs' trade dress and trademarks, and to otherwise 8 achieve the purposes of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114. Plaintiffs have not publicized the 9 requested seizure, and the counterfeit goods are located at the places at which the seizures are 10 to take place. One of the attorneys for DanceSport has given reasonable notice to the United 11 States Attorney for the Southern District of California that DanceSport would be seeking 12 herein an order for seizure of counterfeit goods and documents relating thereto. The only 13 effective method of preventing the counterfeit goods from being removed, hidden, moved, 14 destroyed or made otherwise inaccessible and of preserving other possible relevant evidence 15 is to issue an order requiring the seizure of such evidence without notice to Defendants; 16 therefore the interests of justice require a waiver of notice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 17 Procedure 65(B)(1)(B) and the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1116. 18 19 20
NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED AS FOLLOWS: I. (a) SEIZURE ORDER IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the United States Marshal for the Southern

21 District of California, Deputy United States Marshal(s) ("United States Marshals"), other law 22 enforcement officers, or sworn-in peace officers shall, prior to Monday, August 31, 2009, 23 conduct a reasonable search for and with the use of any reasonably necessary force, seize and 24 impound any and all goods, including packaged and unpackaged DVDs, bearing any 25 imitations of the federally registered CORE RHYTHMS trademarks of DanceSport, or its 26 federally registered copyrights in its CORE RHYTHMS products, or the trade dress of CORE 27 RHYTHMS products (exemplars of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 1) including any 28 cartons or containers in which the said counterfeit goods may be packaged, specifically

Any other place within the State of California that the United States Marshals, other law enforcement officers, other sworn-in peace officers or representatives of DanceSport reasonably believe, based on information obtained or provided by the Defendants or from records seized from Defendants, is the location of counterfeit goods, cartons or containers therefor, or records relating thereto, and IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the United States Marshals, persons acting

14 under their supervision, other law enforcement officers or other sworn-in peace officers shall 15 prior to Monday, August 31, 2009 reasonably search for, seize and impound all books, 16 records, and other documents and molds and other things relating in any manner to the 17 importation, manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, payment, movement, storage or 18 transfer of said counterfeit or infringing goods described above, which shall be identified by 19 attorneys for or other representatives of DanceSport at the locations authorized above, 20 including but not limited to any document that references DanceSport or CORE RHYTHMS. 21 A forensic specialist in computer hardware retained by DanceSport shall be permitted for this 22 purpose and may copy files, programs, hard drives and anything else therein onto disk(s) or 23 other transportable media which will then be delivered to the custodian specified in Paragraph 24 (e) below.

(c)

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Defendants and their agents and

28 employees, shall affirmatively aid the U.S. Marshals, law enforcement officers, and Plaintiffs'

4

1 agents and attorneys in carrying out this Order including the opening of locked cases, file 2 cabinets, boxes and the like, such as a safe; and 3
(d) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that in the event that infringing and counterfeit

4 products and/or related documents are found to be in any locked or otherwise secured cartons 5 or containers or any locked or otherwise secured pouches, bags, suitcases, safes, boxes, 6 automobiles, vans, trucks, file cabinets and/or backpacks and the Defendants fail to cooperate 7 in causing same to be opened, that the U.S. Marshal and/or other persons authorized to seize 8 counterfeit products and/or documents relating thereto, as defined above may use reasonable 9 force to break any locks or other barriers blocking access to such products and/or documents; 10 and 11
(e) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that all counterfeit/infringing goods, cartons,

Morgan, Gregory J. Sater and the law firm of Rutter Hobbs & 15 Davidoff Incorporated, or persons designated by them, who are hereby designated the 16 substitute custodians, or an appropriate warehouse, and that a complete and accurate 17 inventory of all goods seized shall be made and shall be provided to Defendants with a copy 18 of the inventory and with a receipt for the materials seized; and 19
(f) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the United States Marshals, other law

20 enforcement officers or other custodian as authorized hereunder, shall provide copies of all 21 books, records and other documents seized, to counsel for DanceSport and counsel for all 22 parties (at each such counsel's expense); and shall be given access to and reasonable 23 opportunity to inspect, copy and photograph any other things seized (at each such counsel's 24 expense); provided, however, that counsel may not disclose any confidential, private, 25 proprietary, or privileged commercial information contained therein not relating to the 26 importation, manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, movement, storage or transfer of 27 counterfeit/infringing goods to anyone (other than counsel for the parties and employees of 28 such attorneys) until the date set herein (without regard to later granted continuances; and

5

1

(g)

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that DanceSport's attorneys and other

2 representatives of DanceSport, including, but not limited to, experts and photographers, may 3 be present at the seizure; that DanceSport may have such photographs and/or videotapes made 4 in conjunction with the seizure as DanceSport's counsel deems appropriate to preserve 5 evidence of the seizure; and that the United States Marshals, other law enforcement officers, 6 or other sworn-in peace officers may request appropriate identification from any persons 7 present. The United States Marshals, other law enforcement officers, or sworn-in peace 8 officers, may make simultaneous or repeated seizures as may be necessary and appropriate; 9 and 10
(h) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the United States Marshals, persons acting

11 under their supervision, other law enforcement officers or other sworn-in peace officers shall, 12 at any time within three days from the date of this Order is issued, reasonably search for, 13 seize and copy (either on-site or off-site) all books, records, and other documents and other 14 things relating in any manner to the importation, manufacture, distribution, purchase, 15 payment, movement, storage or transfer of said counterfeit/infringing good, which shall be 16 identified by attorneys for or other representatives of DanceSport at the locations authorized 17 above; and 18
(i) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that if the Defendants fail or refuse to identify

19 all goods bearing the counterfeit/infringing trademarks, copyrights and trade dress, and 20 records relating thereto or if the goods and records cannot otherwise be located, or if 21 DanceSport's attorneys and representatives have a good faith belief that such is the case, 22 United States Marshals, persons acting under their supervision or other law enforcement 23 officers, or other sworn-in peace officers in conjunction with DanceSport's attorneys and 24 representatives shall search through all goods and records of the Defendants existing at the 25 locations described above to locate those records relating to the counterfeit/infringing goods. 26 Such records may be removed from the premises for a reasonable time to accomplish the 27 search and copying of records relating to the Orders above. United States Marshals, persons 28 acting under their supervision, other law enforcement officers, or sworn-in peace officers are

6

1 further directed to use all reasonably necessary force to accomplish the foregoing; and 2
(j) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that if, after the above-mentioned seizures are

3 made, Defendants obtain or retain the possession, custody or control of any goods bearing 4 counterfeit or infringing trademarks, copyrights or trade dress, means of making same or 5 records relating thereto, whether by purchase, importation or otherwise, Defendants will 6 immediately deliver the same into the custody of the United States Marshals, other law 7 enforcement officers or to counsel of record for DanceSport; and 8
(k) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the United States Marshals, persons acting

9 under their supervision, other law enforcement officers, or any person authorized under the 10 Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, shall serve a copy of this Order, the Summons, the 11 Complaint, the Application for Ex Parte Order of Seizure of Counterfeit Goods and 12 supporting papers upon the Defendant or by hand delivery at the time of the seizure, 13 inspection and inventory; and 14

Defendants are cautioned that filing their opposition and appearing the hearing on

3 Tuesday, September 1 are intended to be their opportunities to oppose Plaintiffs' request that 4 the Court issue a preliminary injunction. Failure to file an opposition within the time 5 permitted, or to appear at the hearing may constitute consent to issuance of the injunction. 6 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 25 26 27 28
