| — | 2026-08-12 | CLERK'S NOTICE: Pursuant to Local Rule 73.1(b), a United States Magistrate Judge of this court is available to conduct all proceedings in this civil action. If all parties consent to have the currently assigned United States Magistrate Judge conduct all proceedings in this case, including trial, the entry of final judgment, and all post-trial proceedings, all parties must sign their names on the attached Consent To form. This consent form is eligible for filing only if executed by all parties.

| 9 | 2026-08-13 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal [3] is granted in part. The Court allows Plaintiff to file [2] under seal, but notes there is no "Exhibit 2 to the Declaration of Robert Johns" as referenced in the Motion to Seal filed on the docket. The Court will not preemptively allow the sealing of exhibits not yet submitted by Plaintiff. To the extent Plaintiff does file such exhibit, it must be accompanied by its own motion to seal with an explanation for why sealing is appropriate. As it appears that the case filed is a "Schedule A" case, Plaintiff is directed to the Court's standing order on its website directing the filing of the Court's Schedule A Template within 14 days. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) of joining 96 defendants to this action. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). Plaintiff should reference this Court's opinion in Zaful v. Schedule A Defs., 24-cv-11111, Doc. 12 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 10, 2025), where the Court expressed its views on joinder in Schedule A cases. By 8/27/26, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the above cases and explaining why each of the 96 defendants is properly joined to the others. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 8/27/26 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Mailed notice. (jcc,) |
