| 10 | 2026-09-08 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file exhibits [7] under seal [5]. Upon review of Plaintiff's complaint, motion for temporary restraining order, and supporting documents, the Court sua sponte raises the issue of whether the 82 defendants named in this action can be properly joined under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20. See Tang v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 23 C 4587, 2024 WL 68332, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 4, 2024); Roadget Bus. Pte. Ltd. v. Individuals, Corps., Ltd. Liab. Companies, Partnerships, & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *6 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024); Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:24-cv-1566, 2024 WL 2953105, at *3 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). In particular, the Court is concerned about the fact that Defendants appear to be based, or at least list addresses, in multiple countries, including China, Japan, Indonesia, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, and several United States, and the wide variation among the products Defendants are alleged to have sold. See Anagram Int'l, LLC v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:24-cv-12194, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43230, at *9 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 21, 2025). By 9/14/26, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles set forth in the above-cited cases, especially Anagram International, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43230, at *9, and like decisions. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 9/24/26 with a smaller subset of defendants, along with a memorandum explaining why that smaller subset of defendants is properly joined. The pending motions [6], [8] are entered and continued. Plaintiff is also reminded that all motions are to be noticed for hearing. Notice mailed by Judge's staff |
