MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: For the reasons stated in the motions, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 6, motion for leave to file excess pages 9, and ex parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order 10. Provided that Plaintiff provides the security described in Paragraph 11 of the temporary restraining order, the temporary restraining order shall become effective on October 2, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. and shall expire in fourteen (14) days from the effective date. The Court finds that joinder of the "Schedule A" Defendants is proper at this preliminary stage. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A). The Court notes that no Defendants are prejudiced by permitting joinder at this juncture. See Bose Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 334 F.R.D. 511, 517 (N.D. Ill. 2020). To the extent any defendant appears and objects to joinder, the Court will revisit the issue and is free to sever certain defendants from the case under Rule 21 at that time. Emailed notice

MINUTE Entry before the Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court is in receipt of Defendant TheStickerShopCanada's response to minute entry R. 46 and motion to reconsider 47. Defendant TheStickerShopCanada has entered a pro se litigant appearance 44. As previously explained by Minute Entry dated 11/16/2023 46, TheStickerShopCanada must obtain counsel, as an entity cannot appear pro se or be represented by a non-lawyer. Scandia Down Corp. v. Euroquilt, Inc., 772 F. 2d 1423, 1427 (7th Cir. 1985) ("A corporation must appear by counsel, or not at all."). Further, "[t]here is no right to court-appointed counsel in federal civil litigation." Olson v. Morgan, 750 F.3d 708, 711 (7th Cir. 2014). Therefore, in the absence of an appearance on behalf of TheStickerShopCanada by counsel, the Court cannot consider motions or other filings submitted on behalf of TheStickerShopCanada 42 47 by a non-attorney. Defendant must retain counsel if it is to participate in this case. Defendant TheStickerShopCanada has until 12/19/2023 to retain an attorney and have that attorney file an appearance in this case. Defendant TheStickerShopCanada's failure to file an appearance in this case by that date may result in the grant of Plaintiff's motion for default and default judgment against that entity.

MINUTE Entry before the Franklin U. Valderrama: Defendant TianyuDesign entered a pro se litigant appearance 45 and has filed two answers on behalf of TianyuDesign 40 53.

Euroquilt, Inc., 772 F. 2d 1423, 1427 (7th Cir. 1985) ("A corporation must appear by counsel, or not at all."). Further, "[t]here is no right to court-appointed counsel in federal civil litigation." Olson v. Morgan, 750 F.3d 708, 711 (7th Cir. 2014). Therefore, in the absence of an appearance on behalf of TianyuDesign by counsel, the Court cannot consider motions or other filings submitted on behalf of TianyuDesign 40 53 by a non-attorney.

Hagerman, 545 F.3d 579, 581 (7th Cir. 2008) (internal citations omitted) ("A sole proprietorship may litigate pro se, because it has no legal identity separate from the proprietor himself.")

ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported.
