ORDER: The Court grants in part and denies in part Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery 25. That is, the Court grants Plaintiff's request for electronic discovery related to the identities and locations of Defendant, but denies the request as to the nature of Defendants' operations and all associated sales, methods of payment for services and financial information, which information the Court finds is more appropriate addressed in the regular course of discovery. Additionally, for the reasons stated in the motion, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) 24. Signed by the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama on 11/4/2025. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: Plaintiff has filed its amended schedule A 23 under seal without an accompanying motion for leave to file under seal. Plaintiff shall either file a motion for leave to seal or a status report indicating that the document may be unsealed on or before 11/6/2025. The Court reminds Plaintiff of the strict standard against sealing. See, e.g., In re Specht, 622 F.3d 697, 701 (7th Cir. 2010); see also Eicher Motors Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 2025 WL 2299593, at *7 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 8, 2025). Mailed notice. 翻译 |

ORDER: For the reasons stated in the accompanying Order, the Court finds that Defendants in this case are not properly joined. Therefore, the amended complaint is dismissed without prejudice. By 11/3/2025, Plaintiff is directed to amend its complaint to eliminate all improperly joined defendants. If the second amended complaint names more than one defendant, Plaintiff must simultaneously file a memorandum explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process 13 and motion for expedited discovery 14 are denied as moot. Signed by the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama on 10/21/2025. Mailed notice. 翻译 |

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motion, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion to seal 7. However, on review of the Complaint 1 and Schedule A 8, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 50 Defendants. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) governs permissive joinder of defendants. It permits defendants to be joined in a single action if two conditions are met: (1) "any right to relief is asserted against them jointly, severally, or in the alternative with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions"; and (2) "any question of law or fact common to all defendants will arise in the action." Fed. R. Civ. P 20(a)(2); see UWM Student Ass'n v. Lovell, 888 F.3d 854, 863 (7th Cir. 2018). As other courts within this District have held, "it is appropriate for federal courts to raise improper joinder on their own, especially when the sheer number of defendants waves a joinder red flag and ups the chances that the plaintiff should be paying separate filing fees for separate cases. The need for sua sponte evaluation also intensifies when it would take enormous time and effort to check the evidence, such as screenshots of dozens and dozens of defendants' online stores, amassed into a single case absent actual connections between the defendants." Estee Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 186 (N.D. Ill. 2020) (citing George v. Smith, 507 F.3d 605, 607 (7th Cir. 2007)); see also, e.g., Andrew Blair Bailie v. Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A," 24-cv-02150 Dkt. 28 (Apr. 24, 2024). Here, Plaintiff's allegations purporting to establish joinder are merely conclusory. For example, Plaintiff alleges that "The Defendant Internet Stores share unique identifiers, such as design elements and similarities of the counterfeit products offered for sale, establishing a logical relationship between them and suggesting that Defendants' illegal operations arise out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." R. 1, para. 4. Similar to another court in this District, this Court's "experience has shown that, while some individual defendants may operate several online stores, and while some individual defendants may coordinate with other defendants before or after the filing of the infringement action, rarely, if ever, have all defendants named in a Schedule A case worked together." Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. v. Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 24-cv-09401 Dkt. 23 (Oct. 18, 2024). Accordingly, the Court directs Plaintiff to file, on or before 3/31/2025, a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder. Instead of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline, Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with (a) one defendant or (b) a subset of the defendants along with a memorandum explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. Mailed notice. 翻译 |
