MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: The Court has reviewed the plaintiff's supplemental memorandum on joinder 13 and determines, within its discretion, that plaintiff has failed to satisfy its burden to show that joinder of the over 300 remaining defendants is proper in this matter under Fed.R.Civ.P. 20(a)(2). See Estee Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 185 (N.D.Ill. 2020) (noting that "[plaintiff] bears the burden of demonstrating that joinder is proper"); H-D U.S.A. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", No. 21-CV-01041, 2021 WL 780486, at *2 (N.D.Ill. Mar. 1, 2021) ("The Seventh Circuit has recognized the broad discretion that district courts have in remedying misjoinder, so long as the court's decision avoids unnecessary harm to the parties."). Beyond alleging that the over 300 defendants are infringing upon plaintiff's trademarks which alone is insufficient to establish the property of joinder, see Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 187 plaintiff claims that joinder is proper primarily because plaintiff "believes it has a reasonable basis to conclude these defendants are operating in collusion" with the same suppliers. (Dckt. #13 at 1). In support of this "reasonable basis," however, plaintiff provides only the conclusory declaration of plaintiff's counsel and a chart purporting to reflect that each of the counterfeit listings matches the counterfeit manufacturer offerings. Otherwise plaintiff argues generally that joinder of defendants is proper because they "all sell their Infringing Products on Wish and eBay," (Dckt. #1 at 2), and because - without any supporting evidence - they "collectively participate in the 'seller defense' website to coordinate their actions," (Dckt. #13-1). Within its discretion, on this record, the Court finds that plaintiff has failed to meet its burden to show that joinder is proper here. See H-D U.S.A., 2021 WL 780486, at *3 (finding joinder improper where plaintiff failed to allege "any nonconclusory facts to form a basis for a conclusion that the defendants' conduct overlaps enough to warrant joinder"); Roadget Bus. Pte. Ltd. v. Individuals, Corps., Ltd. Liab. Companies, Partnerships, & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *7 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024) (denying joinder where plaintiff had "not presented evidence that Defendants shared information about how to successfully sell counterfeit products or evade legal enforcement through online chatrooms or other means."). Accordingly, plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order 9 as to the over 300 defendants listed on its initial Schedule A is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others by 3/14/25. Tracking status hearing set for 3/28/25 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeffrey I Cummings: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge Jeffrey I. Cummings. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 7 and for leave to file excess pages 8 are granted. Plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order 9 is entered and continued. Upon review of the complaint and the TRO submissions, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of 397 defendants in this case. See, e.g. Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D.Ill. 2020). By 9/27/24, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with a smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 189. Tracking status hearing set for 10/28/24 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice 翻译 |
