NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by FOT, LLC as to Defendant OstfriesenBosseln

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff filed a status report [14] indicating that it anticipates proceeding on the amended complaint [7], [8]. Before Plaintiff may proceed, it must file a supplemental report confirming whether it has previously named any of the 98 defendants identified in this case in a prior case asserting infringement of the same intellectual property. See Julie Stiebritz v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:25-cv-03459, at [19] (N.D. Ill.

ATTORNEY Appearance for Plaintiff FOT, LLC by Ying Chen

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff initiated this lawsuit seeking to sue 98 separate defendants in a single patent infringement complaint, see [1], [5], [5-1]. Once the case was assigned to this Court, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which names just one defendant, see [7], [8], and thus appears to avoid any joinder issues. The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to seal [4], [6], but reminds counsel that all motions must be noticed for presentment or they may be stricken. Mailed notice.
