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. 翻译

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion for entry of default as to Defendant Stewardship Group Washington Park, LLC [41] is granted under FRCP 55(a). A responsive pleading was due by July 2025 and no answer or responsive pleading was filed. The court defers ruling on a prove up as to this Defendant until later in the case. See In re Uranium Antitrust Litig., 617 F.2d 1248, 1262 (7th Cir. 1980) (in cases involving joint and several liability in a multi-defendant case, a damages hearing should be delayed until the liability of each non-defaulting defendant has been resolved); CFTC v. Reisinger, 2015 WL 14071152 (N.D. Ill. Sep. 2, 2015).Mailed notice. 翻译

09/03/2025
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Defendants Goncharko and 5120's motion to dismiss [39] is denied in part and granted in part. As to these Defendants, Count II (� 3604(f)) and Count III (� 3617) are dismissed without prejudice, and Count IV (� 1981) is dismissed with prejudice. The motion is otherwise denied. Defendant Coldwell Banker's motion to dismiss [16] is granted in full. As to Coldwell Banker, Count I (� 3604(b)) is dismissed without prejudice. Count II (� 3604(f)), Count III (� 3617), and Count IV (� 1981) are dismissed with prejudice because amendment would be futile. See the attached order for further details. If Plaintiff wishes to file an amended complaint either as to (a) Count I against Coldwell Banker or (b) Counts II and Count III against Goncharko and 5120, then he must file a "Second Amended Complaint" by September 12, 2025. If no amended pleading is filed by September 12, 2025, then the case will proceed on Count I against Defendants Goncharko and 5120 only. If Plaintiff elects to file a Second Amended Complaint, he must file a single document titled Second Amended Complaint, and that filing must include all relevant information about the case, including any new allegations that he believes fixes the problems identified in the court's order. When evaluating the Second Amended Complaint, the court will not refer to prior filings nor will it permit multiple filings at different docket entries. Finally, the matter is set for a telephonic status hearing on September 17, 2025 at 9:15 am. At that time, the parties should be prepared to discuss next steps for the case, including whether all parties agree to have the court refer the case to the assigned magistrate judge for an early settlement conference, which would allow the court to recruit counsel for Plaintiff for settlement purposes only. The court only makes a settlement referral when all parties agree to be referred for settlement. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: 855-244-8681, Access Code: 2302 225 8245. Members of the public and media will be able to call in to listen to this hearing (use toll free number). Please, please be sure to keep your phone on mute when you are not speaking. Persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court. Mailed notice. 翻译

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The emergency petition for a TRO [45] is denied. A temporary restraining order is "an extraordinary remedy [that is] never awarded as of right." Benisek v. Lamone, 138 S.Ct. 1942, 1943 (2018). To obtain a temporary restraining order, a party must demonstrate that (1) it has some likelihood of success on the merits; (2) traditional legal remedies would be inadequate; and (3) without such relief, it will suffer irreparable harm. See, e.g., Girl Scouts of Manitou Council, Inc. v. Girl Scouts of USA, Inc., 549 F.3d 1079, 108586 (7th Cir. 2008). Here, Plaintiff's motion seeks immediate relief from an imminent eviction. The filing states that the eviction was scheduled to occur on July 28, 2025. Though an eviction would create an imminent risk of irreparable harm, Plaintiff has not presented a likelihood of success on the merits warranting immediate relief. If the eviction has already occurred, federal subject-matter jurisdiction over the relief sought does not exist under the Rooker-Feldman doctrine; lower federal courts cannot review the judgments of state courts. Hadzi-Tanovic v. Johnson, 62 F.4th 394, 399 (7th Cir. 2023). Rooker-Feldman prevents a federal district court from exercising jurisdiction over an action "that alleges an injury 'inextricably intertwined' with a state court decision, such that success in the federal court would require overturning the state court decision." Epps v. Creditnet, Inc., 320 F.3d 756, 759 (7th Cir. 2003). If the eviction proceedings have not yet concluded, Younger abstention looms. "Younger generally requires federal courts to abstain from taking jurisdiction over federal constitutional claims that involve or call into question ongoing state proceedings." FreeEats.com, Inc. v. Indiana, 502 F.3d 590, 595 (7th Cir. 2007) (citing Young-er v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 4344 (1971)). Either way, the court lacks jurisdiction to adjudicate an eviction under these abstention doctrines, so Plaintiff has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits. Mailed notice. 翻译

07/01/2025
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff's motion to strike [31] is denied. An appearance by counsel who is already admitted to the bar of the Northern District of Illinois does not require a motion, so FRCP 7 does not apply. The two appearances filed by counsel Amy Jo Hemmingsen, who is admitted to this court's local bar, stand. According to the executed waivers, no responsive pleading is due from Defendants 5120 South LLC and Igor Goncharko until July 25, 2025. See docket entries [21] and [22]. The motion for entry of default [34] is denied. The executed waivers filed on the docket for Defendants Stewardship Group Washington Park, LLC and Stewardship Group LLC, filed at docket entries [19], [20], [32], and [33], are waivers that extend the time for a responsive pleading by 60 days. See FRCP 4(d)(3). Therefore, no answer or responsive pleading appears to be due until 60 days after May 20, 2025. Under FRCP 55(a), default is appropriate when a party against whom a judgment for affirmative relief is sought has failed to plead or otherwise defend within the time allowed under Rule 4. Here, the time allowed has been extended to July by virtue of the waivers, so Defendants are not in default and there is no basis for entry of default or default judgment. Mailed notice. 翻译

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: The motion for attorney representation [6] is denied without prejudice. There is no right to court-appointed counsel in federal civil cases, but the Court may recruit a lawyer to represent an indigent litigant on a pro bono basis. Watts v. Kidman, 42 F.4th 755, 760-61 (7th Cir. 2022) (citing Pruitt v. Mote, 503 F.3d 647, 654 (7th Cir. 2007) (en banc)). In deciding whether to recruit counsel, the Court must determine whether (1) the party has made a reasonable attempt to retain counsel on his own or has been effectively precluded from doing so; and if so, (2) given the difficulty of the case, the plaintiff appears competent to litigate it himself. Id. Because recruited counsel is a limited resource, the Court may also consider the likely merits of the party's claims. Id. at 763-64. At this early stage of the case, where no responsive pleading has been filed and no discovery has been conducted, an assessment of these factors is difficult. See Kadamovas v. Stevens, 706 F.3d 843, 846 (7th Cir. 2013) (difficult to gauge need for counsel prior to filing of responsive pleading); Romanelli v. Suliene, 615 F.3d 847, 852 (7th Cir. 2010) (difficult to assess ability of plaintiff to litigate case when it was "still in its infancy"). Based on Plaintiff's initial pleadings, much of the underlying facts here are within his personal knowledge and given his educational background as a college graduate, Plaintiff can proceed on his own at this early stage of the case. Should the case proceed to a stage where the need for counsel is more pressing, Plaintiff may renew the motion for recruited counsel. In the meantime, he should continue to seek attorney representation and save any responses he receives for submission with future motions so that any future application can include the names of lawyers who Plaintiff contacted about representing him (which the current application does not include). Mailed notice. 翻译

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins:Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint that proposes federal causes of action on behalf of himself only. The motion to proceed in forma pauperis [3] is granted. The filing fee is waived. The Clerk shall terminate the Defendants "its Leasing Agent" and "its Dual Broker". Hobbs may proceed on his amended complaint, though the Court notes that this does not mean his causes of action are viable. The Court directs the Clerk to: (1) file the amended complaint [Dkt. [5]], (2) issue summonses for service of the complaint on Defendants Igor Goncharko, 5120 South LLC, Coldwell Banker Realty, Stewardship Group LLC and Stewardship Group Washington Park LLC, (3) send Hobbs five USM-285 forms, filing instructions, and a copy of this order, and (4) send a copy of this order the U.S. Marshals Service. The Marshal is appointed to effect service and is authorized to send a request for waiver of service in the manner prescribed by Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(d) before attempting personal service. The U.S. Marshal will not affect service until the USM- 285 service forms are returned. Hobbs must complete and return the USM-285 forms by April 29, 2025. Failure to do so may result in dismissal of any unserved Defendant, as well as dismissal of this case in its entirety. Hobbs also must promptly submit a change-of-address if his address changes while this case remains pending. If Hobbs fails to keep the Court informed of his address, this action will be subject to dismissal for failure to comply with a Court order and for failure to prosecute. The matter is set for a tracking status on May 1, 2025 at 8:30 a.m. (to track the case only' no appearance is required). Mailed notice. 翻译

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Lindsay C. Jenkins: Plaintiff Steven Hobbs, Sr. filed this pro se action on behalf of himself, Scye Hobbs and US Debt Buyers, LLC against Igor Goncharko, 5120 South LLC, Stewardship Group LLC, and Coldwell Banker Realty. The Complaint suffers from several defects that must be corrected to ensure this Court has jurisdiction and before the case can proceed. First, Plaintiff as a pro se litigant may not represent anyone other than himself, including any other person or any LLC. If anyone other than Hobbs, Sr. will be named as a Plaintiff, that person or entity must be represented by counsel. Second, the complaint raises primarily state law claims for premises liability, negligence, mechanics lien enforcement, unjust enrichment, retaliation, wrongful eviction, fraud and misrepresentation. These causes of action may only be brought in federal court if there is diversity of citizenship between all the parties, but the complaint alleges that all the relevant parties (both Plaintiff and all Defendants) are citizens of Illinois, so it appears the Court lacks subject matter jurisdiction over the claims. Next, the Complaint contains a superficial reference to the Fair Housing Act, 42 U.S.C. � 3601, a statute that makes it the policy of the United States to provide fair housing throughout the United States. The allegations in the complaint, however, appear to relate to a recently initiated "unlawful eviction and judgment against Plaintiffs without legal service" which Plaintiff says remains ongoing in connection with a mechanic's lien. If the eviction proceedings have not concluded, Younger abstention looms. "Younger generally requires federal courts to abstain from taking jurisdiction over federal constitutional claims that involve or call into question ongoing state proceedings." FreeEats.com, Inc. v. Indiana, 502 F.3d 590, 595 (7th Cir. 2007) (citing Younger v. Harris, 401 U.S. 37, 4344 (1971)). In some circumstances, Younger bars federal courts from interfering with state eviction proceedings. See SKS & Assocs., Inc. v. Dart, 619 F.3d 674 (2010). Depending on the nature of the eviction proceedings, the Court may need to abstain from exercising jurisdiction over Plaintiff's claims. Given these concerns, the case cannot proceed so the Court dismisses the Complaint. See Hoskins v. Poelstra, 320 F.3d 761, 763 (7th Cir. 2003) ("District judges have ample authority to dismiss frivolous or transparently defective suits spontaneously, and thus save everyone time and legal expense."). By April 15, 2025, Hobbs, Sr. must file an amended complaint that satisfies Rule 8 by explaining why federal jurisdiction exists, and alleging facts that support a plausible claim. Failure to do so will result in the dismissal of this case. The application to proceed in forma pauperis [3] remains under advisement. Mailed notice. 翻译
