| 03/02/2026 | ORDER for Leave to Conduct Expedited Discovery and Service of Process by E-Mail and/or Electronic Publication. Signed by the Honorable April M. Perry on 3/2/2026. Mailed notice. (jcc,) |
| 03/02/2026 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's motions for Expedited Discovery [10] and Electronic Service of Process [11] are granted. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with an online marketplace defendant. Expedited discovery is warranted to identify Defendant. Because electronic service is being permitted, Plaintiff is directed to effectuate that service within 30 days or to file a status report with the Court within 30 days explaining why it is unable to do so. Enter order. Mailed notice. (jcc,) |

| 02/20/2026 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal 7 is granted in part. The Court allows Plaintiff to file 2 under seal, but denies the sealing of Plaintiff's trademark registrations 3 and Plaintiff's product listing 4 because they are already known to the public. The Clerk of Court is directed to unseal 3 and 4. Also, upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the appropriateness under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) of joining 189 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 3/6/2026, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing joinder in light of the above-cited cases and discussing why each of the 189 defendants is properly joined to the other defendants. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 3/6/2026 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Finally, 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. Mailed notice. (jcc,) |
