PERMANENT INJUNCTION

Upon consideration of the application pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1345 and the entire record in 

this case, the Court finds that: 

1. This Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of this case and all the parties hereto, 

and venue in this district is proper. 

2. There is probable cause to believe that Defendant has violated and, unless enjoined, will 

continue to violate 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341 and 1343. 

3. This Court previously entered a Preliminary Injunction, enjoining Defendant from the 

conduct alleged in the United States’ application for injunctive relief. The Preliminary 

Injunction was agreed to by the Defendant. (Doc. 16). 

4. The domain name “whiteeaglenativeherbs.net” is registered to Michael Travalino. The 

reseller web host for this domain is GoDaddy.com, LLC, headquartered at 14455 North 

Hayden Rd, Ste. 219, Scottsdale, AZ 85260. This domain is being used as an 

instrumentality of Defendant’s crimes. 

5. Injunctive relief to protect the public interest is expressly authorized by 18 U.S.C. § 1345. 

As such, neither a specific finding of irreparable harm, a showing of the inadequacy of

other remedies at law, nor a balancing of the parties’ interests is necessary prior to the 

issuance of a permanent injunction. 

6. Even though a showing of irreparable harm is not necessary under Section 1345 in order 

to obtain injunctive relief, the Court has found that permitting Defendant to continue to 

perpetrate the alleged mail and wire fraud would constitute irreparable harm and that the 

balance of the equities and the public interest weigh in favor of injunctive relief. 

7. The statutory conditions for granting a permanent injunction under 18 U.S.C. § 1345 are 

therefore met. 

8. Defendant’s violations of 18 U.S.C. §§ 1341 and 1343 will continue unless a permanent 

injunction is issued. 

The Court ORDERS that, pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1345 and Rule 65 of the Federal Rules 

of Civil Procedure, the United States’ application for a permanent injunction is GRANTED.

The Court further ORDERS that Defendant, his agents, officers, and employees, and all

other persons and entities in active concert or participation with him, are enjoined from:

(A) committing mail fraud, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1341;

(B) committing wire fraud, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 1343; 

(C) maintaining and doing business through the use of the domain

“whiteeaglenativeherbs.net,” or any other website that promotes the sale of products claiming to 

cure COVID-19 or other diseases; 

(D) doing any business involved in the selling, marketing, or distribution of any product

intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, including 

COVID-19;

(E) destroying business records related to Defendant’s business, financial, or accounting

operations; 

(F) taking any actions designed to interfere with any additional Court orders regarding 

Defendant’s operation of any business involved in the selling, marketing or distribution of any 

product intended for use in the diagnosis, cure, mitigation, treatment, or prevention of disease, 

including COVID-19; and 

(G) taking actions designed to interfere with any additional Court orders regarding the 

domain “whiteeaglenativeherbs.net.”

The Court further ORDERS that this permanent injunction is effective as of the date on

the signature below. 

The Court further ORDERS that the United States shall serve a copy of this Permanent

Injunction on Defendant by personally serving Defendant at his last known residential address, 

last known place of business, or where he may be physically encountered.

The Court further ORDERS that for every day that Defendant is in violation of this

Permanent Injunction, he may be fined up to $1000 per day and face possible incarceration of up

to 30 days for each violation. 

Pursuant to 18 U.S.C. § 1345(a)(3) and Rule 65(c) of the Federal Rules of Civil 

Procedure, the United States shall not be required to post security for this action.

It is so ORDERED.

SIGNED this 4th day of August, 2022.
