MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: This case has been assigned to the calendar of Judge LaShonda A. Hunt. Plaintiff names 83 Defendants in this single case 2. However, after reviewing the complaint 1 and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all Defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2); Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 24 C 1566, 2024 WL 2953105 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). In addition, because Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about "Defendant Internet Stores" allegedly violating federal copyright laws without any details whatsoever about the defendants identified in Schedule A, the Court doubts that the complaint satisfies the requirements of with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Accordingly, by 8/26/25, Plaintiff must either (a) file an amended complaint, and an amended Schedule A with a subset of Defendants, and the amended complaint must set forth with specific allegations about each defendant identified in Plaintiff's amended Schedule A, including allegations that explain how each defendant is properly joined with each other and labeled exhibits that contain screenshots or other information specific to Defendants listed on amended Schedule A only; or (b) file a supplemental memorandum that refers to specific facts alleged in its filings and provides citations to specific screenshots associated with each Schedule A Defendant to demonstrate that joinder is proper and the allegations are sufficient under Rules 8 and 10. Otherwise, this case will be dismissed. Finally, Plaintiff filed its Schedule A under seal without filing a motion to seal that complies with Local Rule 26.2 and articulates a basis for good cause to justify sealing the document. Counsel is admonished to review and comply with all court procedures and applicable rules. Any motion to seal is due by 8/26/25. As a courtesy, the document filed at 2 will remain under seal pending review of the anticipated renewed motion. If nothing is filed by that date, that document will be unsealed.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Notwithstanding the Court's prior warning 11, Plaintiff's recent filings do not comply with case management procedures or the relevant rules. Plaintiff filed a new sealed document 14 without a motion for leave to do so as required under Local Rule 26.2. The sealed motion for expedited discovery and electronic service 14 is therefore summarily stricken, and the Clerk of Court is directed to unseal the documents filed at 2 14 and to update the docket and case caption to reflect that the lone defendant in this case is "Tejiojio," forthwith. Counsel is admonished that further disregard for court orders and the applicable rules will result in a rule to show cause why sanctions, including dismissal of this case, should not be imposed. If no other relief has been sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file a status report by 9/8/25 updating the Court on proposed next steps in this case. The motion hearing set for 8/27/25 16 is stricken.
