| 9 | 2026-07-27 | NOTICE of Motion by Dongying Su for presentment of motion for miscellaneous relief 7 before Honorable Sara L. Ellis on 7/30/2026 at 01:45 PM. |
| 10 | 2026-07-30 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 5. Plaintiff filed this case against 39 Defendants for alleged infringement of 1 copyright. Under Rule 20, a plaintiff may join multiple defendants in a single action if: (1) the claims against them are asserted with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences, and (2) a question of law or fact common to all defendants exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)(B). In reviewing the filings in this case, it does not appear that joinder is proper as to all Defendants. As the Court stated in Roadget Business Pte. Ltd. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Cos., Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright, trademark, or patent in the same way, without more, does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find joinder proper. No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *67 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024). Moreover, Plaintiff's complaint fails to establish that this Court has jurisdiction over Plaintiff's claim. See Liu v. Monthly, et al., 170 F.4th 1090, 1094 (7th Cir. 2026). The Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by 8/21/2026, as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Court's order in Roadget. The Court enters and continues Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery 7 to the next status date. The Court sets a status hearing for 9/2/2026 at 9:30 AM. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: (650) 479-3207, Access Code: 2314 361 1508. Entering an attendee code is not required. Throughout the telephonic hearing, each speaker will be expected to identify themselves for the record before speaking.

| 16 | 2026-09-01 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 11. The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery 7. However, the Court will not allow Plaintiff to proceed against all 39 Defendants and finds that Plaintiff has not sufficiently established that all 39 Defendants are properly joined in this action. Thus, the Court dismisses Defendants #2-39 and will allow Plaintiff to proceed against Defendant #1 on Schedule A. The Court strikes the status date set for 9/2/2026 and resets it to 10/6/2026 at 9:30 AM. Plaintiff should be prepared to discuss the status of service at the next status hearing. Attorneys/Parties should appear for the hearing by calling the Toll-Free Number: (650) 479-3207, Access Code: 2314 361 1508. Entering an attendee code is not required.
