01/07/2026

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion for default and default judgment [31] is granted in part as to the request for entry of default. Plaintiff has shown that Defendant Hong Kong Xunling Limited D/B/A HTSRTE was served on 12/11/25, and failed to plead or otherwise defend this action by 1/5/26 [28]. Accordingly, pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 55(a), default is entered against Defendant. Plaintiff's motion is entered and continued as to the request for entry of a default judgment. Any objections to the motion for entry of default judgment are due by 1/14/26. If no objections are filed by that date, the Court will consider the motion unopposed. Plaintiff must serve a copy of this order on Defendant within one business day of entry and promptly file proof of such service. The motion hearing set for 1/14/26 [32] is stricken.

AMENDED complaint by XYZ Corporation against The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified in Schedule A Hereto 翻译 |
| 14 |
10/15/2025
|
MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. On 10/10/25, Plaintiff, proceeding anonymously, commenced this case by filing a redacted complaint 1 along with an unredacted complaint 2, Schedule A [2-1], copyright information [2-2], and evidence of alleged infringement [2-3] under seal. Plaintiff also filed a motion for leave to file under seal and proceed under pseudonym [sic] 4. First, upon review of the copyright infringement complaint and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all 24 defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20. See Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A,No. 24 C 1566, 2024 WL 2953105 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). Indeed, Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about coordinated counterfeiting activity between 24 defendants without any details whatsoever, which arguably violates the requirements of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Accordingly, by 10/22/25, Plaintiff must file either a memorandum explaining why joinder is proper or an amended complaint specifically naming and identifying each defendant being sued and setting forth with more than conclusory statements the alleged infringing activity. Failure to do so will result in the current complaint being dismissed without prejudice and this case being closed. Second, Plaintiff has not established good cause under Local Rule 26.2 or Seventh Circuit precedent to justify sealing the names of defendants or documents pertaining to alleged infringing activity. "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). Plaintiff has further failed to establish exceptional circumstances which would support its request to proceed under a pseudonym. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016); see also Doe v. Loyola Univ. Chicago, 100 F.4th 910, 913 (7th Cir. 2024). The fact that alleged infringers track Counsel's firm to "avoid enforcement and liability," as Plaintiff argues, is far from an exception circumstance. Accordingly, all of Plaintiff's future filings must disclose Plaintiff's identity. The Clerk is directed to (1) update the docket and case caption to reflect that Plaintiff's name is "Wumei Lin," and (2) unseal the documents filed at 2, [2-1], [2-2], and [2-3].
