ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/31/2025: Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The motion for an extension of time [14] is denied. There is no need for additional time to "assemble the evidence establishing proper joinder." The plaintiff should have had some evidentiary basis for joinder when it filed the complaint. Mailed notice.

MOTION by Plaintiff Jen Elliott for extension of time Supplemental Memo in Support of Joinder

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: Motion hearing held. The plaintiff has filed a complaint alleging infringement by 30 defendants. This case follows a pattern common to "Schedule A" cases where plaintiffs allege that defendants employ similar methods to infringe plaintiffs' intellectual property. Here, the plaintiff alleges that, "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." 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 November 3, 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. The Court reminds the plaintiff of Local Rule 40.3(B0(2), which provides: "[w]hen a case is dismissed with prejudice or without, and a second case is filed involving the same parties and relating to the same subject matter, the second case shall be assigned to the judge to whom the first case was assigned. The designation sheet presented at the time the second case is filed shall indicate the number of the earlier case and the name of the judge to whom it was assigned." The Court orders the plaintiff to comply with Local Rule 40.3(B0(2). Mailed notice.

MOTION by Plaintiff Jen Elliott for temporary restraining order

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff's motion to seal [5] is denied. "The court may for good cause shown enter an order directing that one or more documents be filed under seal." L.R. 26.2(b). "[A] district court must be sensitive to the rights of the public in determining whether any particular document, or class of documents, is appropriately filed under seal." United States v. Corbitt, 879 F.2d 224, 228 (7th Cir. 1989). Here, the plaintiff posits that "the likely result would be the destruction of relevant documentary evidence, the hiding or transferring of assets to foreign jurisdictions, and the transfer or disablement of the infringing websites." These conclusory statements to not establish good cause. The Clerk shall unseal Dkt. No. 2. Mailed notice.
