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 memorandum on joinder 14 and determines, within its discretion, that plaintiff has failed to satisfy its burden to show that joinder of 77 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."). Under Rule 20(a)(2), defendants may be joined "if any right to relief is asserted against them. with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences;" and "any question of law or fact common to all defendants will arise in the action." Fed.R.Civ.P. 20(a)(2)(A)-(B). Here, apart from alleging that defendants are infringing upon the same trademark, which alone is insufficient to establish the propriety of joinder, see Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 187, plaintiff argues only that "each of the Defendant Aliases use anonymous nondescript Defendant Aliases, lack of credible information regarding physical addresses and other identifying information, and engage in swarming the market with sales, advertising and marketing strategies to target consumers." (Dckt. #14 at 3). Within its discretion, the Court finds plaintiff's conclusory allegations insufficient to warrant joinder of the 77 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 12/12/25. Plaintiff's motion for TRO 9 and motion for expedited discovery and electronic service 13 are denied without prejudice and with leave to renew. The 11/21/25 tracking status hearing is stricken and reset to 1/9/26 at 9:00 a.m. (to track the case only, no appearance is required). Mailed notice 翻译 |
