Presentment for Exparte Motion [15] NOTICE of Motion by Keith A. Vogt for presentment of before Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 5/15/2025 at 10:00 AM.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: On 5/1/25, Plaintiff filed a Schedule A to the complaint 2 under seal without first complying with Local Rule 26.2. The Clerk is directed to unseal the document filed at 2. Furthermore, Plaintiff is purportedly suing "amdeli" but the complaint itself contains no details whatsoever about this defendant. Rather, Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about "Defendant Internet Stores" allegedly violating copyright laws. The complaint 1 is therefore stricken for failure to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Plaintiff must file an amended complaint by 5/20/25. Otherwise, this case will be dismissed. Counsel is admonished to review and comply with all court procedures and applicable rules. Moreover, Plaintiff's ex parte motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery and for electronic service of process 15 is denied without prejudice to renewal if the case proceeds. The motion hearing set for 5/15/25 is stricken. Mailed notice.
