| 13 | 2026-11-03 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal [5] is entered and continued. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the proprietary of joinder of 29 defendants in this case. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 11/9/2026, plaintiff shall file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint with a single defendant or a smaller subset of defendants along with its memorandum explaining specifically why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 189. Further, upon review of the complaint, the Court advises Plaintiff that no motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order should be filed in this matter without counsel first evaluating whether a restraint of assets would capture more than sales from the allegedly infringing products. A court cannot impose an asset restraint "simply to establish a fund from which a later award of money damages can be satisfied." See Banister v. Firestone, No. 17 C 8940, 2018 WL 4224444, at *9 (N.D. Ill. Sept. 5, 2018); see also Wham-O Holding v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12523, Dkt. 39 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 20, 2025). Mailed notice |
