ORDER granting in part 41 Letter Motion to Seal; granting 47 Letter Motion for Leave to File Document; granting 48 Letter Motion to Seal. Plaintiffs' motion to seal their proposed orders, filed at ECF No. 41, is GRANTED IN PART. The Court finds that the proposed preliminary injunction against Defendants 1 through 4, 8 through 12, 15, and 16, contains financially sensitive and personal information concerning accounts maintained by or related to the Defendants that would be affected by that proposed order. Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga, 435 F.3d 110, 11920 (2d Cir. 2006); see ECF Nos. 42, 45. As the Court explained on the record in today's hearing, the Court shall enter a preliminary injunction based on that proposed order; its preliminary injunction will also be entered under seal. However, the proposed order against Defendant Fion Technologies LLC ("Fion") does not appear to contain any sensitive information. See ECF No. 43. That order lists the last four numbers of certain financial accountsinformation which Fion has already introduced into the public record. See ECF No. 34-1. Fion's motion for leave to file supplemental documents, at ECF No. 47, is GRANTED. Fion's motion to seal its filings, which contain sensitive financial information concerning its Bank of America accounts, is likewise GRANTED. See ECF No. 48. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motions at ECF Nos. 41, 47, and 48. (Signed by Judge Analisa Torres on 8/3/2026)

LETTER MOTION for Extension of Time of TRO and to Continue Show Cause Hearing for a Preliminary Injunction addressed to Judge Analisa Torres from Julie Albert dated July 16, 2026. Document filed by Beijing Qiyi Century Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Beijing iQIYI Science & Technology Co., Ltd., Dongyang iQIYI Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd., Hainan iQIYI Information Technology Co., Ltd., Nanjing iQIYI Film and Television Culture Co., Ltd.
Jul 16, 2026
ORDER granting in part and denying in part [27] Letter Motion for Extension of Time. The Court further ordered that any opposition papers shall be served and filed by July 15, 2026, and that the parties should appear at the July 20, 2026, hearing to show cause why a preliminary injunction should not issue. Id. at 11. By letter dated July 16, 2026, Plaintiff has moved or an extension of the TRO through August 5, 2026, as well as an adjournment of the hearing currently scheduled for July 20, 2026. See ECF No. 27. It is further ORDERED that: 1. By July 27, 2026, Plaintiffs shall file a status update describing the compliance or noncompliance of Defendants and third parties with the Court's order, as well as Plaintiffs' efforts to serve Defendants. 2. The hearing scheduled for July 20, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. is ADJOURNED to August 3, 2026, at 2:00 p.m. By July 29, 2026, Defendants shall file any opposing papers. By July 30, 2026, Plaintiffs shall file a reply, if any. 3. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 65(b)(2), the TRO is extended to August 3, 2026. Good cause exists for an extension, because adjourning the preliminary injunction hearing is necessary to ensure Defendants are afforded adequate notice, and continued restraint of Defendants and third parties in the interim period is necessary to protect Plaintiff's rights against the irreparable harms demonstrated in their TRO application. 4. By July 23, 2026, Plaintiff shall serve this order on Defendants using the same methods authorized by the TRO. By July 27, 2026, Plaintiff shall provide the Court with proof of such service. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to terminate the motion at ECF No. 27, which is GRANTED IN PART. SO ORDERED. Show Cause Response due by 8/3/2026. (Signed by Judge Analisa Torres on 7/16/2026)
