U.S. District Judge Ursula Ungaro, Miami, denied a trade-show organizer’s motion to set aside a preliminary injunction barring him from promoting a March event called ACES 09 at the Miami Beach Convention Center. CEA, which won the injunction on grounds that ACES infringes the CES trademark, contends that Justin Finichiarro has ignored the order and wants him held in contempt and fined $5,000 for every day he continues promoting ACES and its logo. Finichiarro asked Ungaro to throw out the injunction because his attorney quit the case without telling him. Ungaro is “sympathetic,” but the lawyer’s action provided no basis for lifting the injunction, she said. Finichiarro has been defending himself since his lawyer resigned citing “irreconcilable differences” between them. Finichiarro should hire a new attorney, the judge said, adding that she would consider one more motion from him to set aside the injunction.
