MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff seeks to sue 34 separate Defendants in this single copyright infringement suit, see 1, 2. Joinder of multiple defendants in a single infringement action remains appropriate only if the claims against the defendants are asserted "with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences," and a common question of law or fact exists as to all defendants. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)-(B). In this regard, Plaintiff alleges that joinder is proper "as, on information and belief, the Defendants are engaged in a coordinated scheme, and the rights asserted against them arise out of the same series of transactions and occurrences. On information and belief, common questions of fact pertaining to the Defendants will arise in this action." 1 4. But the allegations remain conclusory, a mere recitation of the rule's requirements. Plaintiff also alleges that the Defendant Internet Stores "share unique identifiers, such as design elements and similarities of the unauthorized products offered for sale, establishing a logical relationship between them and suggesting that Defendants' illegal operations arise out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences," id. 9, 11, and that the "Infringing Products for sale in the Defendant Internet Stores bear similarities and indicia of being related to one another, suggesting that the Infringing Products were manufactured by and come from a common source and that, upon information and belief, Defendants are interrelated." Id. 23. These allegations remain unsupported by Plaintiff's submissions; indeed, Plaintiff failed to even submit the asserted photographs, making it impossible to assess the degree of interrelatedness of the Defendants or Plaintiff's likelihood of success on its claim. For these reasons, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's complaint. And denies as moot Plaintiff's motion to seal 5. Mailed notice.
