2 ORDER GRANTING TRO, EXPEDITED 

DISCOVERY AND OSC 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

Plaintiffs, the United States Olympic Committee and the International 

Olympic Committee, having moved ex parte for a Motion for Reconsideration of 

the Court’s denial on July 25, 2008, of their Ex Parte Motion for Temporary 

Restraining Order or, in the alternative, having renewed their Motion for 

Temporary Restraining Order and Expedited Discovery, and the Court having 

reviewed Plaintiffs’ First Amended Complaint, filed on or about July 29, 2008, 

Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte Application, the memorandum of points and authorities and 

declarations filed in support thereof, the Court finds that there is GOOD CAUSE

appearing to 

___ GRANT Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte Motion for Reconsideration 

OR 

___ GRANT Plaintiffs’ Renewed Ex Parte Motion for Temporary 

Restraining Order, 

and finds as follows: 

1. Plaintiffs have established that this Court has: 

___ personal jurisdiction over Defendant XLH; 

___ personal jurisdiction over the Doe Defendants that operate 

the websites and use the domain names at issue here; 

___ in rem jurisdiction over the domain name Defendants 

Beijingticketing.com; 2008-0lympics.com; 

Beijingolympic2008tickets.com; Beijingolympictickets2008.com; 

Olympic-tickets.net; and Olympicticketsbeijing2008.com 

2. Plaintiffs have met their burden of demonstrating that they are 

likely to succeed on the merits of their claims against Defendants; 

3. There is a reasonable inference that unless enjoined, Defendants 

will continue to use Plaintiffs’ trademarks deceptively to market and solicit sales of 

tickets to the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing;

4. Defendants have caused and, if permitted to continue such 

conduct unrestrained, Defendants will likely continue to cause, irreparable damage 

and harm to Plaintiffs; 

5. The harm to Plaintiffs if a Temporary Restraining Order is not 

granted far outweighs any harm that Defendants may suffer if it is granted; 

6. The relief Plaintiffs request is in the public interest.
