(Request for reassignment) (ags)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff commenced this action on 3/17/25, by filing a Complaint 1, provisionally sealed Schedule A 8 listing 50 Defendants, and motion to seal 7. The case was reassigned to Judge Hunt on 3/18/25 12, but to date Plaintiff has not noticed the motion to seal for presentment in accordance with this Court's case management procedures. In addition, Plaintiff has not moved for entry of a temporary restraining order, although seeking such relief is the stated basis for needing to seal the filing. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion to seal 7 is denied. The Clerk's office is directed, forthwith, to unseal Schedule A 8. Furthermore, after reviewing the complaint 1 and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all 50 Defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2); Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 24 C 1566, 2024 WL 2953105 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). By 4/17/25, Plaintiff must either (a) file a supplemental memorandum that refers to specific facts alleged in its filings and provides citations to specific screenshots associated with each Schedule A Defendant to demonstrate that joinder is proper; or (b) file an amended schedule A with a subset of Defendants, along with an amended declaration that explains how each of these defendants is properly joined with each other and includes labeled exhibits that contain screenshots or other information specific to Defendants listed on amended Schedule A only. Plaintiff is reminded to review and comply with all court procedures and local rules. For future reference, non-compliant motions may be summarily stricken. Emailed notice

SEALED EXHIBIT by Plaintiff Eicher Motors Limited Exhibit 2 to Ribchester Declaration regarding memorandum in support of motion, 18

NOTICE of Motion by Michael A. Hierl for presentment of motion for leave to file excess pages 16, motion for temporary restraining order, 17 before Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 5/1/2025 at 10:00 AM.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion to exceed page limitation 16 is granted. Plaintiff's motion for a TRO 17 is denied without prejudice. In order to be entitled to equitable relief like a temporary restraining order, Plaintiff must show (among other things) that there is ongoing or impending harm. Swanigan v. City of Chicago, 881 F.3d 577, 583 n.2 (7th Cir. 2018). The evidence submitted in this case 19 supports allegations of infringement in July 2024, which, in this Court's view, is too old to sustain a finding of ongoing harm at this time. To the extent a renewed motion is filed, Plaintiff must include either recent evidence of infringement or a live link that the Court can click on that would demonstrate ongoing harm. Plaintiff is further admonished that documents may not be filed under seal without first complying with Local Rule 26.2. The Clerk is directed to unseal the documents filed at 15 and 19, forthwith. The motion hearing set for 5/1/25 is stricken. Plaintiff is ordered to file a status report regarding service and next steps in this case by 5/28/25. Mailed notice.
