MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sharon Johnson Coleman: Upon review of the Complaint and the motion for Temporary Restraining Order, the Court questions whether joinder of nineteen defendants is appropriate in this case.

Plaintiff may alternatively attempt to cure the joinder deficiency by filing a second amended complaint containing fewer defendants alongside its memorandum. Presentment of the TRO motion is stricken. Mailed notice.
