ORDER: An initial status report is due on or before January 22, 2025.

See Fed. R. Civ. P. 26(a)(1)(C) and 26(f)(2).If, by the due date of the scheduled status report, defendants have not been served, plaintiff should send an email to the chambers email account, chambers_gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov, to reset the status date.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff's motion [12] for leave to conduct expedited discovery is granted. However, the proposed order submitted by counsel imposes discovery obligations upon third-party service providers and defendant in a manner that the court cannot understand. Paragraph one obligates third-party service providers to make certain discovery disclosures. Paragraph two imposes discovery obligations upon defendant, but ¶ 2(c) also requires defendant to list all "the steps taken by Defendant to comply with paragraph 1, (a)-(c)." How the defendant will be able to certify the steps taken by third-party service providers has not been explained and is not obvious. Accordingly, plaintiff must either file a short memorandum explaining how proposed ¶ 2(c) is intended to operate or send an amended proposed order to Proposed_Order_Gottschall@ilnd.uscourts.gov by and including 11/25/2024.
