| 06/17/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Plaintiff has filed a "Notice of Voluntary Dismissal" 18 as to the sole Defendant in this so-called "Schedule A" case. Because the Notice was filed before the opposing party served either an answer or a motion for summary judgment, the case is dismissed without prejudice consistent with the terms of the Notice and by operation of Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(i) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Nelson v. Napolitano, 657 F.3d 586, 587 (7th Cir. 2011) (Rule 41(a)(1)(A) notice of dismissal "is self-executing and effective without further action from the court"). Each party is to bear its own fees and costs. Any pending motions are dismissed as moot. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice. |

| 05/15/2024 | Unsealed 5, [5-1], 5-2], and [5-3] (Amended Complaint; Exhibits 1-3) by AP Global, Inc. 附件： 1:Exhibit 1 2:Exhibit 2 3:(Exhibit 3) |
| 05/15/2024 | Unsealed 2 (Exhibit 1 to Complaint) by AP Global, Inc. |
| 05/14/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Plaintiff's motion 11 for leave to proceed anonymously is denied. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were Defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of Plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that Defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Conversely, there are no exceptional circumstances that would justify allowing Plaintiff to conceal its own identity: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for preliminary injunctive relief will be adjudicated in the ordinary course of so-called "Schedule A" litigation, and the identity of Defendants will be placed under seal during the pendency of the ex parte proceedings. Given these protections for Plaintiff's legitimate interests, the countervailing strong public interest in knowing who is seeking recourse in the federal courts compels the Court to deny Plaintiff's request to conceal its own identity, even initially. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate exceptional circumstances that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016); see also Doe v. Smith, 429 F.3d 706, 710 (7th Cir. 2005) ("The public has an interest in knowing what the judicial system is doing, an interest frustrated when any part of litigation is conducted in secret."); Doe v. Trustees of Indiana Univ., No. 22-1576, 2024 WL 1824967, at *4 (7th Cir. Apr. 26, 2024) (district judge "abused his discretion when permitting 'John Doe' to conceal his name without finding that he is a minor, is at risk of physical harm, or faces improper retaliation."). Such exceptional circumstances as to justify anonymity are not present in this case. Accordingly, Plaintiff's motion proceed anonymously is denied. For the same reasons, Plaintiff's motion 12 for leave to file certain documents under seal is granted in part and denied in part. Subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, Plaintiff may for now file the documents appearing at docket entries 3, [5-4] (that is, Exhibit 4 only), 7, and 8. Plaintiff's request to file the documents appearing at docket entries 2, 5, [5-1], [5-2], and [5-3] is denied. The Clerk is directed to update the docket to reflect that the Plaintiff is AP Global, Inc. and that "John Doe" is terminated. All other pending motions will be addressed by separate order. Mailed notice. |
