Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report.

SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff Kitsch LLC Exhibit 3 to Declaration of Jeremy Thurswell

STATUS Report by Kitsch LLC

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: 1.) On review of the complaint and the TRO brief, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the dozens of Defendants. The Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, Case No. 19-cv-7878, 2020 WL 433870 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 27, 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 01/16/2025. The cursory and conclusory discussion in the TRO memo, R. 15 at 3-4, is insufficient. In lieu of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline, the Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with (a) one defendant or (b) a subset of the defendants along with a memo explaining why joinder of those specific defendants is proper. (2.) For now, the motion 2 to seal is granted in light of the goal of asset restraint. But that is only for now. (3.) The notice of motion for 01/10/2025 is vacated given the joinder inquiry. (4.) The tracking status hearing of 01/10/2025 is reset to 01/24/2025 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Emailed notice
