| 02/02/2026 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal [4] is granted in part. Plaintiff may seal its Schedule A and infringement evidence but may not seal its federally registered copyrights as they are already known to the public. Accordingly, Plaintiff must file Exhibit 1 to the complaint on the public docket. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) of joining 30 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 is reminded that "[c]ourts in this district generally agree that alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright in the same way does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find a similar transaction or occurrence." See Roadget Bus. Pte. Ltd. v. Individuals, Corps, Ltd. Liab. Companies, Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 23-cv-17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *6 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024) (collecting cases). 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 2/16/2026, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the aforementioned cases and describing why each of the defendants is properly joined to each of the others. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 2/16/2026 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Finally, it appearing 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. To the extent Plaintiff intends to file a request for service via electronic means, that motion must be filed by 2/16/2026. Mailed notice. (jcc,) |
