ORDER REGARDING

DEFENDANTS’ MOTION TO

CLARIFY TEMPORARY

RESTRAINING ORDER 

[Doc. No. 30]

vs.

JOHN LEGGE; GWEN LEGGE; KNUKLE,

INC., a California corporation; ARTILLERY

DISTRIBUTION; SEAN MYERS; DEVIN

MERCADO; DOES 1-50,

Defendants.

On March 30, 2009, defendants moved the Court to clarify the extent of the temporary

restraining order. [Doc. No. 30.] Specifically, defendants questioned whether the order required

defendants to transfer control of the website to plaintiffs. At an expedited discovery conference,

Magistrate Judge Battaglia ordered the parties to hold the status quo on the transfer of ownership

pending clarification by this Court. [Doc. No. 31.] The TRO in question orders control of the website

be transferred “with respect to any and all prior or current purchase orders.” [Doc. No. 14.] Because

this does not involve any future orders, the Court finds that defendants have complied with the order

by closing the website. At this juncture, turning over control of the website would affect future

purchase orders, which exceeds the bounds of the above quoted conditional language. Therefore, the
