Because Plaintiff failed to confirm, as previously requested [15], that this Defendant is currently offering the allegedly infringing product for sale, the Court denies the motion for a temporary restraining order.

MOTION by Plaintiff Mark Sanders LLC for temporary restraining order

SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff Mark Sanders LLC Amended Schedule A

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: Having reviewed Plaintiff's filing on joinder [13], the Court finds that joinder is not proper for all 8 Defendants. The Court, therefore, dismisses Defendants 2-8 without prejudice and allows Plaintiff to proceed against Defendant 1, as identified on Schedule A [2]. If Plaintiff wishes to proceed on a TRO against Defendant 1, Plaintiff should file a renewed motion that confirms that this Defendant's alleged infringement remains active and ongoing because the screenshot reflects items offered for sale in August 2025. The Court strikes the status date set for 10/15/2025 and resets it to 11/5/2025 at 9:30 AM. Plaintiff should file any motion for TRO and notice it for presentment at the next status date. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: (650) 479-3207, Access Code: 2314 361 1508. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking.

SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff Mark Sanders LLC Memorandum in Support of Joinder

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: The Court grants Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal [5], [10] and for leave to file excess pages [9]. The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order [6] without prejudice. Plaintiff filed this case against 8 defendants selling on Amazon, E-Bay, and Etsy for copyright infringement. 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 filings 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 10/8/2025, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Court's order in Roadget. The Court also cautions Plaintiff that, in order to support preliminary injunctive relief, it must show that the named defendants' alleged infringement remains active and ongoing. The Court thus orders Plaintiff to ensure that it only seeks preliminary injunctive relief from defendants whose alleged infringement remains active and ongoing. The Court sets a status hearing for 10/15/2025 at 9:30 AM. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: (650) 479-3207, Access Code: 2314 361 1508.
