MOTION by Plaintiff Those Characters from Cleveland, LLC for leave to file for Leave to Conduct Expedited Discovery and Electronic Service of Process Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(F)(3)

Amended Schedule A to Complaint [1] and Schedule A [2] by Those Characters from Cleveland, LLC

Entered in error. Modified by Court's staff.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging infringement by 47 defendants. This case follows a pattern common to "Schedule A" cases where plaintiffs allege that defendants employ similar methods and "work in active concert" to infringe plaintiffs' intellectual property. But experience has shown that not all defendants named in a Schedule A case work together. More importantly, experience has shown that joinder under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20 is rarely appropriate in Schedule A cases. See, e.g., Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 9401, Dkt. 27 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 18, 2024). Accordingly, the Court raises the propriety of joinder and requires the plaintiff to file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder on or before April 4, 2025. Alternatively, by the same date, the plaintiff may file an amended complaint naming one or more defendants; however, if the plaintiff names multiple defendants, the plaintiff must show that joinder of those defendants is proper. All pending motions are hereby stayed pending resolution of the joinder issue. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Executive Committee: Case reassigned to the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel for all further proceedings pursuant to the provisions of 28 USC 294(b). Mailed notice
