ALVIN K. HELLERSTEIN, U.S.D.J.:

Upon the parties' submissions and oral argument held June 1, 2018, Plaintiffs' motion for
temporary restraining order and preliminary injunction is denied. For the reasons stated

following oral argument, Plaintiffs fail to satisfy the four factors of Winter v. Nat. Res. Def.
Counsil, Inc., 555 U.S. 7, 20 (2008), and the factors of Polaroid Corp. v. Polarad Elecs. Corp.,

287 F.2d 492,495 (2d Cir.1961). Plaintiffs' motion to stay Defendant Kneupper's Petition for
Cancellation before the Trademark Trial and Appeals Board is also denied. The application to

stay the petition is the only justification for Kneupper's presence in this case. The application
having been denied, Defendant I<neupper is dismissed from this case.
The parties shall proceed to fact discovery, which will clo:!!e September 7, 2018, and

appear for a status conference on September 14, 2018, at 10:00 A.M ..
Defendants shall move to dismiss or otherwise answer the complaint by June 22, 2018.
Oppositions to any such motions are due by July 13, 2018, and replies by July 20, 2018.
