MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff initially filed a complaint seeking to sue 83 separate defendants in this single trademark infringement suit, see [1], [2]. Once the case was assigned to this Court, however, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, [13], directed to a single Defendant, see [14]. The amendment thus avoids any joinder issues, and Plaintiff may proceed on this complaint [13]. During the course of the litigation, the attorneys must appear at all hearing dates set by the Court or noticed by the parties. If an attorney has a conflict with a set court date, the attorney must notify Judge Blakey's Courtroom Deputy, Emily Wirtz (emily_wirtz@ilnd.uscourts.gov). If appropriate, the Court will then reset the matter. Advising opposing counsel of a scheduling conflict is not a substitute for communicating directly with the Court. The litigants are ordered to review and fully comply with all of this Court's own standing orders, which are available on Judge Blakey's information page on the Court's official website: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/. Additionally, the parties (or Plaintiff individually if Defendant still is not at issue) shall file a status report by 8/15/25, using the model template set forth in this Court's standing order regarding Initial (or Reassignment) Status Conferences. Based upon Plaintiff's submissions, the Court grants Plaintiff's motions for expedited discovery [16] and electronic service of process [17] and strikes the 7/9/25 Notice of Motion date. Finally, Plaintiff having withdrawn its motion for leave to file under seal [3], see [15], the Court directs the Clerk to terminate docket entry [3] as a pending motion. Mailed notice. |
