ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR EXPEDITED DISCOVERY AND ELECTRONIC SERVICE. Signed by the Honorable Sara L. Ellis on 2/5/2025:Emailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: The Court grants Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal 4 and for electronic discovery and electronic service of process 10. The Court orders Plaintiff to file a memorandum regarding why joinder of 242 Defendants in this action is appropriate. Under Rule 20, a plaintiff may join multiple defendants in a single action if: (1) the claims against them are asserted with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences, and (2) a question of law or fact common to all defendants exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)(B). In reviewing the materials filed by Plaintiff in this case, it does not appear that joinder is proper as to all Defendants. As the Court stated in Roadget Business Pte. Ltd. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Cos., Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright, trademark, or patent in the same way, without more, does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find joinder proper. No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *67 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024). The Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by 3/5/2025, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Courts order in Roadget.
