MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: The Court has reviewed plaintiff's memorandum regarding joinder 18 and determines that plaintiff has failed to satisfy its burden to show that joinder of 95 defendants is proper under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20. See Estee Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. The Partnerships, 334 F.R.D. 182, 185 (N.D. Ill. 2020) ("[plaintiff] bears the burden of demonstrating that joinder is proper"). In so concluding, the Court adopts its analyses in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 28, 2024), and Anagram International v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12194, Dkt. 87 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 21, 2025). Although the Court specifically directed plaintiff to these prior decisions 16, plaintiff's joinder memorandum does not cite them, let alone address their reasoning. According to plaintiff, joinder of 95 defendants is proper because all defendants sell their products on Amazon; all sell "the same category of goods," which is "stuffed toys"; all use plaintiff's mark in their product titles; and all use generic, unregistered brand names to conceal their identities and avoid liability. 18 at 3. These rationales for joinder are ones that the Court already addressed, and rejected, in Anagram International and Bug Art Limited. See also Toyota Motor Sales, USA, Inc. v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 9401, Dkt. 27 at 23 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 18, 2024) ("Even if the t-shirts came from the same factory, and even if the unauthorized vendors employed the same hustle, I would have a hard time establishing a connection between a vendor in Chicago and a vendor in Los Angeles even though they fit a particular profile."). Plaintiff is ordered to show cause in writing by 8/22/25 why this case should not be dismissed. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N. Alexakis: Initial status hearing is set for 10/6/25 at 9:30 a.m. in person in Courtroom 1719. By 9/29/25, the parties shall file a Joint Initial Status Report that complies with the Court's standing order, which can be found on the Court's website. If the defendant(s) have not been served by the initial status hearing date, counsel for Plaintiff must contact the Courtroom Deputy to reschedule the status hearing and the date for filing the Joint Initial Status Report. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: The Court grants plaintiff's motion for leave to file certain documents under seal 11. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 95 defendants in a single action. By 8/14/25, plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of this Court's orders in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28 (N.D. Ill. Oct. 28, 2024), and Anagram International v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12194, Dkt. 87 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 21, 2025). In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 8/14/25 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why that smaller subset of defendants is properly joined. The Court denies plaintiff's motions for a temporary restraining order 7 and electronic service of process 12 without prejudice to renewal after the Court's joinder concerns have been addressed. No motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order should be re-filed in this matter without counsel first consulting this Court's order in Wham-O Holding v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12523, Dkt. 39 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 20, 2025). 翻译 |
