MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The Plaintiff has filed an amended complaint, R. 12, and withdrawn the prior motion [4] to seal, R. 13. The motion to file under seal [4] is terminated. Initial tracking status hearing set for 05/22/2026 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the ***ATTACHED*** status report requirements (do ***not*** use templates from other cases) by 05/15/2026. The Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If Defendant has not been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases. ***PARTIES MUST COMPLY with all standing orders in the Case Procedures on Judge Chang's website, including the requirement of same-day digital courtesy copies of UNDER-SEAL FILINGS.*** Emailed notice
