MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: As it appears that the case filed is a "Schedule A" case, Plaintiff is directed to the Court's standing order on its website directing the filing of the Court's Schedule A Template within 14 days. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) of joining six defendants to this action. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). Plaintiff should reference this Court's opinion in Zaful v. Schedule A Defs., 24-cv-11111, Doc. 12 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 10, 2025), where the Court expressed its views on joinder in Schedule A cases. By 7/27/26 the plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the above cases and describing why each of the six defendants is properly joined to each of the others. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 7/27/26 with a smaller number of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Additionally, the Court notes that Plaintiff has filed the Schedule A 2 and Exhibit 2 to the Declaration of Dilpreet Aujla 10 under seal, without filing a corresponding motion to seal as is required by Local Rule 26.2. Plaintiff is directed to file a motion to seal within two business days. Mailed notice. (jcc,)
