AMENDED complaint by Viz Media, LLC against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file exhibits [7] under seal [5]. Upon review of Plaintiff's complaint, motion for temporary restraining order, and supporting documents, the Court sua sponte raises the issue of whether the 82 defendants named in this action can be properly joined under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20. See Tang v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 23 C 4587, 2024 WL 68332, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 4, 2024); Roadget Bus. Pte. Ltd. v. Individuals, Corps., Ltd. Liab. Companies, Partnerships, & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *6 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024); Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:24-cv-1566, 2024 WL 2953105, at *3 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). In particular, the Court is concerned about the fact that Defendants appear to be based, or at least list addresses, in multiple countries, including China, Japan, Indonesia, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, and several United States, and the wide variation among the products Defendants are alleged to have sold. See Anagram Int'l, LLC v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, No. 1:24-cv-12194, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43230, at *9 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 21, 2025). By 9/14/26, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles set forth in the above-cited cases, especially Anagram International, 2025 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 43230, at *9, and like decisions. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 9/24/26 with a smaller subset of defendants, along with a memorandum explaining why that smaller subset of defendants is properly joined. The pending motions [6], [8] are entered and continued. Plaintiff is also reminded that all motions are to be noticed for hearing. Notice mailed by Judge's staff
原告提交TRO申请MINUTE entry before the Honorable Jorge L. Alonso: The Court grants in part Plaintiff's motion to file documents under seal [5] as to Schedule A to the complaint. Plaintiff also requests leave to file exhibits to the Declaration of Robert Jones under seal, but no such exhibits have been filed in accordance with Local Rule 26.2(c). The Court will consider Plaintiff's request for leave to file those exhibits under seal once they have been filed on the docket in accordance with the Local Rules. The Court sets a telephonic status hearing for 10/29/26 at 9:30 a.m. By 10/23/26, the parties shall file a joint initial status report. A template for the Initial Status Report, setting forth the information required, may be found at http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov/Judges.aspx by clicking on Judge Alonso's name and then again on the link entitled 'Initial Status Hearings.' If defendants have not entered appearances or been served, plaintiff must file a status report advising the court of the status of service of process or any communication with defendants.
