| Feb 5, 2024 | 20 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: reasons stated on the record, plaintiff's motion 15 is terminated without prejudice. Plaintiff's amended motion for default judgment shall be filed by 2/13/24 and plaintiff shall submit the accompanying amended proposed order to the Court's proposed order inbox (Proposed_Order_Cummings@ilnd.uscourts.gov). The Court notes that the entry of a default judgment does not automatically establish that "any particular remedy is appropriate" and that to award permanent injunctive relief, the Court must find that plaintiff has provided a sufficient evidentiary basis (through an appropriate declaration or otherwise) to satisfy the applicable four-factor test for such relief. See, e.g., e360 Insight v. The Spamhaus Project, 500 F.3d 594, 604-05 (7th Cir. 2007); Philips Med. Sys. (Cleveland), Inc. v. Buan, No. 19-CV-2648, 2023 WL 143200, at *5-10 (N.D.Ill. Jan. 10, 2023); Delta Faucet Co. v. Watkins, No. 123CV00200JMSCSW, 2023 WL 8527092, at *6-8 (S.D.Ind. Dec. 8, 2023). Motion hearing on plaintiff's forthcoming amended motion for default judgment set for 2/20/24 at 11:00 a.m. in Courtroom 1219. Plaintiff is instructed to serve a copy of the amended motion and order on defendant via e-mail with a certificate of service to be electronically filed.
