MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: An initial status report is due by May 27, 2025. Counsel must read the Standing Order entitled "Initial Status Conferences and Joint Initial Status Reports" on the Court's website. The parties must confer as required by Rule 26(f) about the nature, scope, and duration of discovery. The parties must submit two documents to the Court. First, the parties must file the Joint Initial Status Report under Rule 26(f) on the docket. A Word version of the Joint Initial Status Report is available on the Court's website. All parties must participate in the preparation and filing of the Joint Initial Status Report. The Court requires a joint report, so a filing by one side or the other is not sufficient. Second, the parties must email a Word version of a proposed Scheduling Order under Rule 16(b) to the Court's proposed order inbox. Lead counsel for the parties must participate in filing the initial status report. Plaintiff must serve this Order on all other parties. If the defendant has not been served with process, plaintiff's counsel must contact the Courtroom Deputy at jessica_j_ramos@ilnd.uscourts.gov to reschedule the initial status report deadline. Plaintiff should not file the Joint Initial Status Report before the defendant(s) has been served with process. The parties must discuss settlement in good faith and make a serious attempt to resolve this case amicably. All counsel of record must read and comply with this Court's Standing Orders on its webpage. Please pay special attention to the Standing Orders about Depositions and Discovery. Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff filed the complaint on March 12, 2025, but since then, not much has happened. Plaintiff has not obtained a summons, let alone served process on Defendants. Plaintiff has not requested alternate service of process, either. The case is languishing. Plaintiff must file a statement by May 9, 2025 and show cause why the case should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. The Court hereby authorizes alternate service of process by email under Rule 4(f)(3). A failure to serve Defendants by May 9, 2025 will lead to dismissal. Plaintiff must file an affidavit of service within two business days of service of process. The Court expects Plaintiff to move the case along in a timely manner. If Defendant misses the deadline to respond to the complaint, then Plaintiff must file a motion for the entry of default and default judgment within two business days. Defendant must respond to a motion for default within two weeks. The Court reminds Plaintiff of the need to submit a Word version of a proposed judgment to the proposed order inbox, Proposed_Order_Seeger@ilnd.uscourts.gov. Plaintiff must serve a copy of this order and file a certificate of service. A failure to comply will lead to appropriate relief, including dismissal or the entry of judgment. Mailed notice (gel,)
