| 11 | 2026-02-13 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Upon review of the copyright infringement complaint and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all 21 defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20. See Viking Arm AS v. P''ships & Unincorporated Ass''ns 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 21 defendants without any details whatsoever, which arguably violates the requirements of Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Accordingly, by 2/20/26, 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 th |

| 22 | 2026-03-13 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Upon review of Plaintiff''s motion for electronic service of process [19] and other filings, the Court observes that Plaintiff has not provided evidence of Defendant having sold a product using the allegedly infringing photograph in Illinois.
