MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal [5] is granted in part. The Court allows Plaintiff to file [2], [3] and [4] under seal, but will not preemptively allow the sealing of exhibits not yet submitted by Plaintiff, even if they purportedly "mirror" materials that have been filed. Therefore, to the extent Plaintiff does file "Exhibit 3 to the Declaration of Robert Johns," it must be accompanied by its own motion to seal with an explanation for why sealing is appropriate. This is the third time in the last five weeks that the Court has informed Plaintiff's attorneys that it will not preemptively seal documents that it has not seen. See Case No. 26-cv-9737 (Doc. 9); 26-cv-10004 (Doc. 10). Plaintiff's attorneys are directed that they should take note, or a rule to show cause will issue. 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 87 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 9/30/26, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the above cases and explaining why each of the defendants is properly joined to all of the others. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 9/30/26 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Mailed notice. (jcc,)
