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 Jeffrey I Cummings: The Court has reviewed the plaintiff's supplemental memorandum on joinder [14] and determines, within its discretion, that plaintiff has failed to satisfy its burden to show that joinder of 89 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 almost 90 defendants are infringing upon plaintiff's copyrights, which alone is insufficient to establish the propriety of joinder, see Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 187, plaintiff argues that early evidence tends to suggest that many of the defendants are "clustered" the Shenzhen area of China, the "majority" use the same photograph, and defendants appear to be linked to the same Chinese wholesale website and manufacturer. Within its discretion, the Court finds these speculations insufficient to warrant joinder of the 89 defendants in this matter. See H-D U.S.A., 2021 WL 780486, at *3 ("Combining hundreds of unrelated defendants in one case creates a burden on courts since courts must evaluate the evidence submitted in support of liability and, eventually, apportion damages among the parties."). Plaintiff is granted leave to file an amended complaint consistent with this order, along with a supplemental memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others, by 11/10/25. Plaintiff's motion for TRO [8] is denied without prejudice and with leave to renew at a later date, as appropriate. The 10/31/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and reset to 12/12/25 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 re-assigned to the calendar of Judge Jeffrey I. Cummings. Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal [5] [11] and motion for leave to file excess pages [12] are granted. Plaintiff's motion for temporary restraining order [8] is entered and continued generally. Upon review of the complaint and the TRO submissions, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of almost 90 defendants in this case. See, e.g. Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D.Ill. 2020). By 9/26/25, 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 10/31/25 at 9:00 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required and the case will not be called). Mailed notice 翻译 |
