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

Order (1) for seizure of goods bearing counterfeit trademarks and containing infringing 

copyrighted material and records relating thereto; (2) for inspection and inventory of goods 

bearing infringing trademarks and containing infringing material and records relating thereto; 

(3) temporarily restraining Defendants; (4) to show cause re preliminary injunction; and (5) 

for expedited discovery, and the papers in support thereof, the Court hereby grants said 

Application and Motion. The Court finds that: 

A. Plaintiffs DanceSport Videos LLC and Digital Video Creations, Inc. 

(collectively, DanceSport) have shown that they are likely to succeed on the merits of their 

infringement and counterfeiting claims based on Defendants’ wrongful use of DanceSport’s 

federally registered “CORE RHYTHMS” marks and federally registered copyrighted material 

in connection with counterfeit exercise DVDs; 

B. Plaintiffs are being irreparably harmed by Defendants’ advertising, marketing, 

distributing, offering for sale, and sale of certain infringing products. Defendants’ acts will 

confuse and deceive the public and the trade as to the origin of the Defendants’ counterfeit 

goods and will cause immediate and irreparable injury, loss and damage to DanceSport, its 

trademarks, copyrights and trade dress, and the valuable goodwill and reputation associated 

therewith and that such injury, loss and damage is more likely to be sustained by DanceSport 

if the Defendants are given notice of this litigation prior to the issuance of the Order of 

Seizure and the Temporary Restraining Order hereinafter specified and thereby given time to 

dispose of or move the counterfeit goods and other possible relevant evidence; and 

C. The balance of hardships tips in favor of Plaintiffs and that the public interest 

weighs in favor of granting a temporary restraining order and issuing an OSC re: preliminary 

injunction; and 

D. Plaintiffs have made a showing that ex parte relief is warranted given, inter 

alia, that Defendants are using counterfeits of marks registered on the Principal Register of 

the United States Patent and Trademark Office in connection with the distribution, offering 

for sale and selling of goods (i.e., exercise DVDs); that Defendants are representing their

products as being genuine and from the manufacturer when they are neither; that Defendants 

have infringed and are infringing Plaintiff’s copyrights, trade dress and trademarks; that the 

counterfeit goods are virtually indistinguishable from the genuine goods authorized by 

DanceSport; and that Defendants threaten to continue such acts unless immediately restrained 

by Order of this Court; and 

E. An order other than an ex parte seizure order is not adequate to enjoin the 

counterfeiting and infringing of Plaintiffs’ trade dress and trademarks, and to otherwise 

achieve the purposes of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1114. Plaintiffs have not publicized the 

requested seizure, and the counterfeit goods are located at the places at which the seizures are 

to take place. One of the attorneys for DanceSport has given reasonable notice to the United 

States Attorney for the Southern District of California that DanceSport would be seeking 

herein an order for seizure of counterfeit goods and documents relating thereto. The only 

effective method of preventing the counterfeit goods from being removed, hidden, moved, 

destroyed or made otherwise inaccessible and of preserving other possible relevant evidence 

is to issue an order requiring the seizure of such evidence without notice to Defendants; 

therefore the interests of justice require a waiver of notice pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil 

Procedure 65(B)(1)(B) and the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1116.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS ORDERED AS FOLLOWS: 

I. SEIZURE ORDER 

(a) IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the United States Marshal for the Southern 

District of California, Deputy United States Marshal(s) (“United States Marshals”), other law 

enforcement officers, or sworn-in peace officers shall, prior to Monday, August 31, 2009, 

conduct a reasonable search for and with the use of any reasonably necessary force, seize and 

impound any and all goods, including packaged and unpackaged DVDs, bearing any 

imitations of the federally registered CORE RHYTHMS trademarks of DanceSport, or its 

federally registered copyrights in its CORE RHYTHMS products, or the trade dress of CORE 

RHYTHMS products (exemplars of which are attached hereto as Exhibit 1) including any 

cartons or containers in which the said counterfeit goods may be packaged, specifically

Units 130 and 140. 

2. 3030 Plaza Bonita Rd #1184, National City, CA 91950. 

3. 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 

(b) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the United States Marshals, persons acting 

under their supervision, other law enforcement officers or other sworn-in peace officers shall 

prior to Monday, August 31, 2009 reasonably search for, seize and impound all books, 

records, and other documents and molds and other things relating in any manner to the 

importation, manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, payment, movement, storage or 

transfer of said counterfeit or infringing goods described above, which shall be identified by 

attorneys for or other representatives of DanceSport at the locations authorized above, 

including but not limited to any document that references DanceSport or CORE RHYTHMS. 

A forensic specialist in computer hardware retained by DanceSport shall be permitted for this 

purpose and may copy files, programs, hard drives and anything else therein onto disk(s) or 

other transportable media which will then be delivered to the custodian specified in Paragraph 

(e) below. The computer specialist may conduct an audit of these computers to detect 

evidence of counterfeit or infringing goods, and the results of this audit may be saved on a 

disk(s) or other transportable media; and 

(c) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the Defendants and their agents and 

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

agents and attorneys in carrying out this Order including the opening of locked cases, file 

cabinets, boxes and the like, such as a safe; and 

(d) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that in the event that infringing and counterfeit 

products and/or related documents are found to be in any locked or otherwise secured cartons 

or containers or any locked or otherwise secured pouches, bags, suitcases, safes, boxes, 

automobiles, vans, trucks, file cabinets and/or backpacks and the Defendants fail to cooperate 

in causing same to be opened, that the U.S. Marshal and/or other persons authorized to seize 

counterfeit products and/or documents relating thereto, as defined above may use reasonable 

force to break any locks or other barriers blocking access to such products and/or documents; 

and 

(e) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that all counterfeit/infringing goods, cartons, 

containers, means of making counterfeit/infringing goods, documents, records and other 

things seized pursuant to this Order shall be taken into the care and custody of counsel for 

DanceSport: Nancy C. Morgan, Gregory J. Sater and the law firm of Rutter Hobbs & 

Davidoff Incorporated, or persons designated by them, who are hereby designated the 

substitute custodians, or an appropriate warehouse, and that a complete and accurate 

inventory of all goods seized shall be made and shall be provided to Defendants with a copy 

of the inventory and with a receipt for the materials seized; and 

(f) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that the United States Marshals, other law 

enforcement officers or other custodian as authorized hereunder, shall provide copies of all 

books, records and other documents seized, to counsel for DanceSport and counsel for all 

parties (at each such counsel’s expense); and shall be given access to and reasonable 

opportunity to inspect, copy and photograph any other things seized (at each such counsel’s 

expense); provided, however, that counsel may not disclose any confidential, private, 

proprietary, or privileged commercial information contained therein not relating to the 

importation, manufacture, distribution, sale, purchase, movement, storage or transfer of 

counterfeit/infringing goods to anyone (other than counsel for the parties and employees of 

such attorneys) until the date set herein (without regard to later granted continuances; and

(g) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that DanceSport’s attorneys and other 

representatives of DanceSport, including, but not limited to, experts and photographers, may 

be present at the seizure; that DanceSport may have such photographs and/or videotapes made 

in conjunction with the seizure as DanceSport’s counsel deems appropriate to preserve 

evidence of the seizure; and that the United States Marshals, other law enforcement officers, 

or other sworn-in peace officers may request appropriate identification from any persons 

present. The United States Marshals, other law enforcement officers, or sworn-in peace 

officers, may make simultaneous or repeated seizures as may be necessary and appropriate;

above; and 

(i) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, that if the Defendants fail or refuse to identify 

all goods bearing the counterfeit/infringing trademarks, copyrights and trade dress, and 

records relating thereto or if the goods and records cannot otherwise be located, or if 

DanceSport’s attorneys and representatives have a good faith belief that such is the case, 

United States Marshals, persons acting under their supervision or other law enforcement 

officers, or other sworn-in peace officers in conjunction with DanceSport’s attorneys and 

representatives shall search through all goods and records of the Defendants existing at the 

locations described above to locate those records relating to the counterfeit/infringing goods. 

Such records may be removed from the premises for a reasonable time to accomplish the 

search and copying of records relating to the Orders above. United States Marshals, persons 

acting under their supervision, other law enforcement officers, or sworn-in peace officers are

(e) IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that as a precondition of this Order becoming 

effective as against Defendants, Plaintiffs must post a cash deposit with the Clerk of the 

Court, in lieu of a bond, in the total amount of $ 2500.00, or in the alternative an undertaking

H. MOTION FOR EXPEDITED DISCOVERY

Plaintiffs’ request for expedited discovery is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. 

Discovery issues will be considered at the hearing on the motion for preliminary injunction 

scheduled in section I, below.

Order, the Summons and Complaint, and the ex parte application for seizure of counterfeit 

goods and for temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction (together with all 

supporting affidavits and other documents) on the Defendants by means reasonably calculated 

to give the Defendants notice thereof. Plaintiffs shall promptly file proof of service.

The hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for a preliminary injunction is set for Tuesday,

may order additional briefing if appropriate. 

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

Tuesday, September 1 are intended to be their opportunities to oppose Plaintiffs’ request that 

the Court issue a preliminary injunction. Failure to file an opposition within the time 

permitted, or to appear at the hearing may constitute consent to issuance of the injunction. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
