SUPPLEMENT to Supplemental Information in Support of Plaintiff's Motion 15 for Temporary Restraining Order

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Upon review of the plaintiff's supplement 18 in response to the Court's 4/2/25 order 12, this case is dismissed. The plaintiff acknowledges that all defendants included in the Schedule A in this case were originally named as defendants in case no. 1:25-cv-02742, and she further acknowledges that she dismissed the defendants from that suit in order to avoid an unfavorable joinder ruling from Judge Chang. That is a form of forum shopping: filing a claim, dismissing that claim in anticipation of an adverse ruling, and then filing a new suit that presents the same claim before a different judge. While the plaintiff characterizes her actions as merely "attempt[ing] to comply with the different procedural requirements and standards applied by different judges within this District regarding Schedule A cases," the Court disagrees with that characterization. True compliance with Judge Chang's procedures would have involved accepting an unfavorable joinder ruling and following a remedial order (whether that order directed severance or some other remedy). If the plaintiff wishes to pursue her claims against the defendants included in the Schedule A in this case, she must assert those claims in the case in which they were originally presented. The Court understands that the plaintiff may "face[] significant practical and financial challenges in pursuing separate actions against each defendant" after an unfavorable joinder ruling. But repeatedly naming 127 defendants in new cases until a case is assigned to a judge the plaintiff believes to be hospitable to joinder is not a solution to that problem. It is simply an abuse of process. All future dates and deadlines are stricken; all pending motions are denied as moot. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice
