| 11 | 2026-08-20 | MAILED to plaintiff(s) counsel Lanham Mediation Program materials |
| 12 | 2026-08-24 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: The plaintiff's motion to seal [3] is denied. "The court may for good cause shown enter an order directing that one or more documents be filed under seal." L.R. 26.2(b). "[A] district court must be sensitive to the rights of the public in determining whether any particular document, or class of documents, is appropriately filed under seal." United States v. Corbitt, 879 F.2d 224, 228 (7th Cir. 1989). Here, the plaintiff has not shown good cause. The plaintiff claims that, "[i]f Defendants were to learn of these proceedings prematurely, the likely result would be the destruction of relevant documentary evidence and the hiding or transferring of assets to foreign jurisdictions, thus frustrating the purpose of the underlying litigation and this Court's power to grant relief." But the plaintiff has not offered any evidence to support this claim. As a result, the plaintiff has not met its burden. The plaintiff must file an unsealed version of Dkt. No. 2 on or before August 28, 2026. Failure to do so will result in dismissal of the complaint. Moreover, the Court questions whether the plaintiff has a good-faith basis for its claim that these defendants would destroy evidence, hide assets, or transfer assets if they were to learn of these proceedings. The plaintiff has named 95 defendants. The plaintiff alleges that "Defendants are unknown individuals and business entities who own and/or operate one or more of the e-commerce stores under the Seller Aliases identified on Schedule A and/or other seller aliases not yet known to Glitch." (R. 1 at 35.) How can the plaintiff predict what these 95 defendants would do if the plaintiff does not know who they are? The plaintiff makes no mention in any of its pleadings of prior experience with any of these defendants. The plaintiff does not identify any other instances of these 95 defendants doing the things the plaintiff claims they would do. Rule 11 requires that "factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery." The plaintiff must show cause why it has not violated Rule 11 as to each of the 95 defendants named in Dkt. No. 2 by claiming that these defendants would destroy evidence, hide assets, or transfer assets. Rule to show cause hearing set for September 3, 2026, at 9:30 a.m. Mailed notice. |

| 19 | 2026-09-03 | DECLARATION of Martin F. Trainor regarding Response, [17] (Supplemental) |
| 20 | 2026-09-04 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jeremy C. Daniel: Rule to show cause discharged. Though questions remain, for instance, Dkt. No. 19-2, page 12 of 19, is a USPS Ground Advantage shipping label, which suggests the package originated in the United States, the Court will accept counsel's representations and take the opportunity to remind counsel of the importance of supporting assertions made in pleadings with evidence. Pursuant to the plaintiff's notice of dismissal [15], this case is dismissed without prejudice. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice. |
