In GAMERUN INC. v. MICHAEL INSALACO, Judge Liman set procedures for a preliminary-injunction hearing, amendment motions, sealing, and discovery.
GAMERUN INC. and Michael Insalaco, the parties to the case and related counterclaim.
What happened
GAMERUN INC. v. MICHAEL INSALACO concerns a hearing on Michael Insalaco’s amended motion for a preliminary injunction, scheduled for July 22, 2026. Because neither side requested live testimony, the hearing will address arguments based on the evidence submitted with the motion papers.
The order sets deadlines for Insalaco’s reply and for Gamerun’s response to any request to seal exhibits. It also allows Insalaco to seek permission to amend his answer, counterclaims, or third-party complaint by the deadline for opposing Gamerun’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, with related deadlines for the parties’ submissions.
The court stayed all discovery until it decides the motion for judgment on the pleadings and directed the parties to file a joint status letter within two weeks after that decision. Judge Lewis J. Liman issued the order on July 17, 2026; it does not decide the preliminary-injunction motion or the motion for judgment on the pleadings.

Nature of the Order
This is a case-management order concerning pending motions and discovery. The court did not decide the merits of the amended motion for a preliminary injunction or the motion for judgment on the pleadings.
Preliminary-Injunction Hearing
A hearing on Michael Insalaco’s amended motion for a preliminary injunction is scheduled for July 22, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. The order states that neither party requested live testimony. The hearing will therefore be limited to arguments based on the evidence submitted with the motion papers. Insalaco’s reply in further support of the motion was due on July 17, 2026.
Sealing Procedures
Insalaco must follow the court’s Individual Practices if he seeks permission to file exhibits under seal. Gamerun’s response to the motion to seal is due July 21, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. The court warned that failure to follow the Individual Practices or the order, or to meet the standards identified in Lugosch v. Pyramid Co. of Onondaga and later decisions, may alone result in denial of the sealing motion and unsealing.
Possible Amendment and Pleading Motions
Insalaco may move to amend his answer, counterclaim, and third-party complaint no later than the deadline for opposing Gamerun’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, which was filed July 16, 2026. Gamerun’s opposition to the motion to amend is due by the deadline for replying in further support of the motion for judgment on the pleadings.
Gamerun may file one memorandum supporting its motion for judgment on the pleadings and opposing the motion to amend. Unless the parties agree otherwise, the page limits for each motion remain subject to the court’s Individual Practices and the Local Rules. Unless the parties agree otherwise, Insalaco’s reply in support of the motion to amend will be due under the schedule in the court’s Individual Practices.
Discovery and Next Steps
The court stayed all discovery while the motion for judgment on the pleadings is pending. Within two weeks after the court decides that motion, the parties must file a joint letter describing the case’s status and requesting an initial pretrial conference, which may be held remotely.
Disposition
The order sets hearing, filing, amendment, sealing, and case-management procedures and stays discovery. It does not grant or deny the preliminary-injunction motion, the motion to amend, the motion for judgment on the pleadings, or the motion to seal.
