MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On a preliminary review of the extensive filings, including Schedule A, R. 10, the Court orders that Plaintiff file a memorandum explaining why joinder is proper in light of the sheer number of defendants and the apparent unlikelihood that they are acting in concert. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2)(A), the question is whether the "right to relief. aris[es] out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." The relevant factors are the nature of the claims, the legal basis for recovery, the law at issue, and the factual background. Ross v. Bd. of Educ., 486 F.3d 279, 284 (7th Cir. 2007). In lieu of the memorandum, Plaintiff may file an amended complaint limiting the defendants to a subset of properly joined defendants with actual connections to each other (such as same online registration name or registration address) rather than generic circumstances. The supplement or amended complaint is due by 08/19/2019. The motion 11 for extra pages and the motion to seal 9 are granted. The remaining TRO motion hearing is reset from 08/13/2019 to 09/11/2019 at 9:30 AM.Emailed notice
