| 8 | 2026-07-23 | AMENDED complaint by VIZ Media, LLC against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A |
| 9 | 2026-07-30 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: On 7/21/26, Plaintiff filed a trademark and copyright infringement complaint, seeking to sue 83 separate defendants, see 1, 2. Once the case was assigned to this Court, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint 8, which identifies just one defendant on the attached Schedule A and thus avoids any joinder issues. But the amended complaint remains drafted as if it still targets multiple Defendants. Given the disconnect and ambiguity, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's amended complaint 8 ; if Plaintiff wishes to proceed, it must conform its allegations to the current Schedule A. The Court denies as moot Plaintiff's motion for leave to file the initial Schedule A under seal 5. Finally, because counsel's appearance form indicates that Plaintiff's attorney is a member of the Court's general bar, but not the trial bar, see 4, the Court reminds counsel that strict compliance with LR 83.12 is expected. Mailed notice. |
