Case No.: 2:12-cv-01057-GMN-RJJ
ORDER
(Re: ECFs 15 and 16)
Before the Court is Defendant FF Magnat Limited’s Emergency Motion for Partial
13
Relief from the Temporary Restraining Order (ECF No. 15) and Motion to Extend Time for
14
Briefing Schedule regarding the Hearing on Preliminary Injunction (ECF No. 16).
15
Defendant requests for this Court to unfreeze €300,000 (approximately $375,000 U.S.
16
dollars) from its PayPal account so that it may pay legal fees to defend itself in this action and
17
in a related action brought by Plaintiff Liberty Media Holdings, LLC in Hong Kong, as well as
18
pay certain limited business expenses that are necessary to keep operating. However,
19
Defendants do not provide any itemization or accounting for the Court to consider in making
20
its determination if the amount requested is reasonable. Therefore, the Court authorizes
21
$100,000 U.S. dollars to be released from Defendant’s PayPal account. Defendant may file a
22
subsequent motion for additional funds, but the Court will only consider such a motion if it is
23
accompanied by an itemization specifying which funds are requested and for what purpose.
24
This request should be accompanied by an affidavit verifying the amounts requested, their
25
current location and their intended use.

Defendant argues that it is unable to defend the Hong Kong action because of the
2
Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) that has been filed in this case. This Court hereby
3
clarifies that the TRO issued in this case does not prevent Defendant from withdrawing funds
4
from its Hong Kong accounts as authorized by the Hong Kong Court to pay its legal fees and
5
business expenses.
