MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery 30 is granted. The Court grants Plaintiff's request for expedited discovery as the Court finds that expedited discovery is warranted to obtain Defendant's contact information. Enter Order Authorizing Expedited Discovery. The motion hearing set for 10/7/25 31 is stricken. If no other relief has been sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file a status report by 10/27/25 updating the Court on the progress of expedited discovery and proposed next steps in the case.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion to exceed page limitation 25 is granted. However, Plaintiff's ex partemotion for a TRO and other relief 26 is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff has not come close to meeting the exacting standards of Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(b) to warrant ex parte relief. At a minimum, the Court finds that the generic copy-and-paste declarations made mostly "upon information and belief" fall well short of providing "specific facts" to "clearly show that immediate and irreparable injury, loss or damage will result," and also fail to satisfy the certification requirement. Indeed, counsel attached over 100 pages of articles and other documents that do not demonstrate why notice cannot be provided to this defendant who has already been identified on the docket as "SDJUGS." That is ample reason to deny this extraordinary request. See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A., No. 25 C 2937, 2025 WL 2299593 at *4-7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025) (Kness, J.) ("Given that any irreparable harm wrought by infringement can, as with more traditional forms of IP litigation, be addressed through preliminary injunctive relief following an adversarial proceeding, the use of Rule 65(b) to ensure an unimpeded path to a prejudgment asset restraint is unsound."). Plaintiff may be allowed to seek discovery to assist with identifying defendant, but any such request must be presented in a separate motion. The motion hearing set for 9/11/25 28 is stricken.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case was filed on 7/18/25 with a temporarily sealed Schedule A. But at this point, Plaintiff has not presented exigent circumstances that would justify continued sealing of the defendant's identity. "Secrecy makes little sense if the goal of the litigation is to protect rightholders' IP interests by obtaining an injunction against defendants' sales of infringing or counterfeit goods." See Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 25 C 2937, 2025 WL 2299593 at *7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025)(Kness, J.) More importantly, this presumption of sealing runs counter to the well-established authority of this Circuit holding that "[m]any a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case. be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing." See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000). For those reasons, the motion for leave to file under seal 8 is denied, and the Clerk of Court is directed to unseal the documents filed at 9 21 and to update the docket and caption to reflect that Defendant's name is "SDJUGS." If no other relief has been sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file an updated status report by 9/5/25 setting forth proposed next steps in this case. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: The motion hearing set for 7/29/25 17 is stricken.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Minute entry 16 is amended as follows: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Plaintiff names 150 Defendants in this single case 9. However, after reviewing the complaint 1 and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all Defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2); Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 24 C 1566, 2024 WL 2953105 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). In addition, because Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about "Defendant Internet Stores" allegedly violating federal trademark laws without any details whatsoever about the defendants identified in Schedule A, the Court doubts that the complaint satisfies the requirements of with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Accordingly, by 8/7/25, Plaintiff must either (a) file an amended complaint and an amended Schedule A with a subset of Defendants, and the amended complaint must set forth with specific allegations about each defendant identified in Plaintiff's amended Schedule A, including allegations that explain how each defendant is properly joined with each other and labeled exhibits that contain screenshots or other information specific to Defendants listed on amended Schedule A only; or (b) file a supplemental memorandum that refers to specific facts alleged in its filings and provides citations to specific screenshots associated with each Schedule A Defendant to demonstrate that joinder is proper and the allegations are sufficient under Rules 8 and 10. Otherwise, this case will be dismissed. Finally, Plaintiff's motion to seal 8 was not noticed for presentment in accordance with this Court's case management procedures. For future reference, non-compliant motions may be summarily stricken. Counsel is admonished to review and comply with all court procedures and applicable rules. Nonetheless, Plaintiff's motion to seal 8 remains under advisement. Mailed notice (gel,) 翻译 |
