Abbott Labs., 297 F.3d 544, 545-46 (7th Cir. 2002) (stating that filed discovery documents "that influence or underpin the judicial decision are open to public inspection unless they meet the definition of trade secrets or other categories of bona fide long-term confidentiality. In civil litigation only trade secrets, information covered by a recognized privilege (such as the attorney-client privilege), and information required by statute to be maintained in confidence (such as the name of a minor victim of sexual assault) is entitled to be kept secret"); Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000) ("Many a litigant would prefer that the subject matter of a case. be kept from the curious (including its business rivals and customers), but the tradition that litigation is open to the public is of very long standing."); Citizens First Nat'l Bank of Princeton v. Cincinnati Ins. Co., 178 F.3d 943, 945-46 (7th Cir. 1999) (warning courts not to allow parties "to seal whatever they want" and urging them to apply "a neutral balancing of the relevant interests" in connection with any good-cause determination presented by a motion to seal). Parties moving to seal are directed to review the foregoing case law, and any motion to seal will be taken by the Court as a certification that the movant has read the applicable case law and has ensured that it is making a good-faith argument that the document in question qualifies for sealing under the Seventh Circuit's stringent standards.

AGREED CONFIDENTIALITY Order. Signed by the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes on 4/18/2023. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: On April 10, 2023, defendant/counterclaim-plaintiff Shenzhen Leipengda Technology Co., Ltd. ("Leipengda") filed a notice of voluntary dismissal of Count V of its counterclaims under Rule 41(a)(1) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure ("Notice") [143]. Rule 41(a)(1) states that "the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing: (i) a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment; or (ii) a stipulation of dismissal signed by all parties who have appeared." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A). On April 7, 2023, three days before Leipengda filed its Notice, plaintiff/counterclaim-defendant Uproot Lint LLC ("Uproot") filed its answer to Leipengda's counterclaim [140] and a motion to dismiss Count V of Leipengda's counterclaims under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12(b)(3) [141]. The Notice is not signed by all parties who have appeared. Consequently, Rule 41(a)(1) does not apply. Leipengda's Notice is deficient for an additional reason. "[C]ourts have recognized that Rule 41(a) was singularly designed to allow for voluntary dismissal of entire actions only and not for dismissal of one of several claims against a defendant." Loutfy v. R.R. Donnelley & Sons, Co., 148 F.R.D. 599, 602 (N.D. Ill. 1993); cf. Berthold Types Ltd. v. Adobe Sys. Inc., 242 F.3d 772, 777 (7th Cir. 2001) ("Rule 41(a)(1)(i) does not speak of dismissing one claim in a suit; it speaks of dismissing 'an action'which is to say, the whole case."). Here, Leipengda's Notice seeks to voluntarily dismiss only Count V of its counterclaims against Uproot. "[A] motion to voluntarily dismiss a single claim in a multi-count complaint is properly treated as an amendment under Rule 15(a)." Loutfy, 148 F.R.D. at 602. Accordingly, the Court construes Leipengda's Notice as an amendment under Rule 15(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Rule 15(a) provides, "A party may amend its pleading once as a matter of course within: (A) 21 days after serving it, or (B) if the pleading is one to which a responsive pleading is required, 21 days after service of a responsive pleading or 21 days after service of a motion under Rule 12(b), (e), or (f), whichever is earlier." Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1). Leipengda filed its Notice within 21 days of Uproot's responsive pleading and motion to dismiss and, in doing so, amended its counterclaims as a matter of course to remove Count V. The Court thus denies as moot Uproot's motion to dismiss Count V of Leipengda's counterclaims [141]. Notice mailed by Judge's staff

MOTION by Plaintiff John Doe to stay discovery pending determination on Plaintiff's Motion for sanctions and default Presented before Magistrate Judge

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: Telephonic motion hearing held. Defendants' response to Plaintiff's emergency motion for sanctions and default [170] shall be filed by 6/22/23; Plaintiff's reply shall be filed by 7/6/23. Plaintiff's emergency motion for sanctions and default [170] is referred to the magistrate judge. Notice mailed by Judge's staff

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Plaintiff's motion to stay expedited discovery (doc. #[176]) as to defendant nos. 138, 190 and 252 is before the magistrate judge, with such discovery referred to the magistrate judge (doc. #[112]), and with such discovery set to close on 6/15/23 (doc. #[167]). It is apparent to the magistrate judge that the expedited discovery, if not stayed or suspended, is very likely to close on 6/15/23 and thus before resolution of plaintiff's pending motion for sanctions and default (#[170]). In the interest of promoting a just resolution of this matter, Fed. R. Civ. P. 1, the Court provisionally grants the motion to stay (doc. #[176]) without eliciting time for an objection by defendant nos. 139, 190, and 252, for the sake of efficiency, but if those defendants file an objection by 5 p.m. on 6/12/23, the Court will re-open the stay motion for further consideration of the objection. If no objection is filed, the suspension of the 6/15/23 cutoff for expedited discovery will take effect at 5:01 p.m. on 6/12/23 without further court order. In addition, no Rule 30(b)(6) deposition need take place today, in light of this order. Further, the Court has reviewed plaintiff's bill of fees and costs ordered per the Court's 5/18/23 sanctions order (doc. #[163]) and orders defendant nos. 138, 190 and 252 to pay, to Saper Law Offices, the sum of $2,250 (the stated fees for the Second Emergency Motion to Compel, less the 3% credit card fee) by 5 p.m. on 6/16/23. The earlier-set 6/20/23 joint written status report is vacated as the magistrate judge awaits district court action concerning the sanctions and default motion. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Docket entry dated 6/9/23 (doc. #[177]) is amended as follows: MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Plaintiff's motion to stay expedited discovery (doc. #[176]) as to defendant nos. 138, 190 and 252 is before the magistrate judge, with such discovery referred to the magistrate judge (doc. #[112]), and with such discovery set to close on 6/16/23 (doc. #[167]). It is apparent to the magistrate judge that the expedited discovery, if not stayed or suspended, is very likely to close on 6/16/23 and thus before resolution of plaintiff's pending motion for sanctions and default (#[170]). In the interest of promoting a just resolution of this matter, Fed. R. Civ.

The earlier-set 6/20/23 joint written status report is vacated as the magistrate judge awaits district court action concerning the sanctions and default motion. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The referral in this matter now having been expanded (doc. # 179) to include the plaintiff's motion for sanctions and default (doc. # 173), the briefing schedule set by the district court (doc. # 179) stands, and the magistrate judge will enter a further order on or shortly after 7/6/23 when the briefing is complete.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Plaintiff's motion for immediate consideration of its motion for sanctions and default (doc. #[184]) is denied, as immediate resolution is not feasible under the circumstances, which include the need to consider carefully the extreme nature of the default sanction sought by plaintiff.

MOTION by Plaintiff John Doe Seeking Inclusion of Defendants Does #174 ("Tailaen") and #201("Feenwsy") to Plaintiff's Motion for Default and Sanctions (Dkt. 170) Presented before Magistrate Judge

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Plaintiff Uproot Lint's motion (doc. #[191]) to include two other defendants in its sanctions and default motion is properly directed to the district court; the sanctions and default motion against defendant nos. 139, 190, and 252 their current counsel (doc. #[170]) remains under advisement before the magistrate judge. Separately, the Court granted (doc. #[182]) defendant nos. 139, 190, and 252 to 3 p.m. on 6/27/23 to respond in opposition to Uproot Lint's motion to compel payment of sanctions award (doc. #[181]) or to show cause why those defendants should not be held in contempt of court for their non-compliance with the Court's 6/9/23 order (doc. #[178]) imposing a $2,250 monetary discovery sanction. On 6/27/23, counsel for these defendants filed a motion to withdraw (doc. #[186]), which remains pending in the district court (doc. #[190]), and which contains the following representation by movant counsel: "In particular, Defendants OJJ-LL (Doe#138), KEHOO (Doe#190), and ILAIQKOLLC (Doe#252) have failed to communicate or cooperate with counsel in responding to discovery and appearing for a scheduled deposition." Motion to Withdraw as Counsel 5.

Withdrawing defense counsel is directed to communicate immediately with Uproot Lint's counsel to obtain the necessary wire instructions, because the money is to be sent by wire to avoid further delays. If the payment is not rendered by noon on 7/14/23, defendant nos. 138, 190, and 252 will be held in contempt of court, and the civil contempt penalty may include additional daily fines until compliance is obtained. Through this order, the Court further communicates to these defendants that this Court's orders are not a joke and are not to be ignored, and that all conduct here by these defendants must also be considered with respect to the pending default and sanctions motion (doc. #[170]). Finally, separate status reports from Uproot Lint and from defendant nos. 138, 190, and 252 regarding compliance with this order are due at noon on 7/17/23, by counsel, with all counsel not discharged from the case having a responsibility to ensure the timely filing of the status reports, whether counsel's clients have deemed it necessary to communicate with counsel or not. The magistrate judge expects to rule on the sanctions and default motion (doc. #[170]) by report and recommendation during or shortly after a jury trial set to begin before the magistrate judge on 7/10/23. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: For the sake of clarity, by virtue of the magistrate judge's 7/7/23 order (doc. #[193]), the plaintiff Uproot Lint's motion to compel payment of sanctions award (doc. #[181]), which was not opposed, is granted. Mailed notice.
