| 7 | 2026-07-21 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Initial status hearing is set for 8/12/2026 at 9:00 a.m. in person in Courtroom 2325. By 8/13/2026, the parties shall file an initial joint status report. Additionally, the court has reviewed plaintiff's memorandum on joinder 4. Plaintiff may at this stage join its claims relating to the four storefronts because one can sue the same defendant for unrelated transactions, and the facts support that the same defendant operates all four storefronts. See Wheeler v. Wexford Health Sources, Inc., 689 F.3d 680, 683 (7th Cir. 2012) ("[A] plaintiff may put in one complaint every claim of any kind against a single defendant[.]" (citing Fed. R. Civ. P. 18(a))). Specifically, the same email address is listed on each storefront webpage, suggesting that the same individual operates the webpages. See 4 at 45. Should contrary facts come to light, the court may revisit the propriety of joinder. Mailed notice. |
