| 11/22/2022 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiffs filed a notice, and called it "NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by All Plaintiffs" on CM/ECF. That vague description left an unanswered question: Are Plaintiffs dismissing some of the Defendants, or all of the Defendants? The description gave no answer, so this Court had to click through the filing to figure it out. And after clicking, this Court learned that Plaintiffs were dismissing only Defendant Nos. 1, 36, 506, and 22. Going forward, the Court directs Plaintiffs' counsel to reveal in the description on CM/ECF whether plaintiffs are dismissing some defendants or all defendants. Viewed in isolation, it may not seem like a big deal to make a district court judge click through the docket. But viewed in the aggregate, the extra search costs add up, especially given the volume of Schedule A cases. The Court was disappointed to see the non-descript filing, especially given that this Court issued a warning to Plaintiff's counsel in another case on its docket (Legend Pictures v. Schedule A, 22-cv-3790) only five days ago. Again, next time, make things easier to follow and more user-friendly for district courts, and provide more hands-on information in the description. The Court directs Plaintiffs' counsel to share a copy of this Order to all attorneys at the firm who file Schedule A cases. By November 28, 2022, every Plaintiff's counsel on this case must file a certification confirming that he or she has read this Order. Going forward, a failure to comply will lead to appropriate relief. Mailed notice |

| 10/04/2022 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Steven C. Seeger on 10/4/2022. Mailed notice. |
| 10/04/2022 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal (Dckt. No. [9]) is hereby granted. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file excess pages (Dckt. No. [10]) is hereby granted. Plaintiff's motion for an ex parte TRO (Dckt. No. [11]) is hereby granted in part as stated in the accompanying order. Temporary Restraining Order to follow. For now, the Court is granting an asset freeze. But this Court is inclined to lift the asset freeze at a later time unless Plaintiff later seeks equitable monetary relief (like an accounting of profits) or unless Plaintiff can point this Court to a statute that expressly authorizes an asset freeze in connection with statutory damages. Motion for electronic service of process (Dckt. No. [19]) is hereby granted. Plaintiff must effectuate service of process by October 7, 2022. Responses to the complaint are due by October 21, 2022. Motions for default and default judgment are due by October 24, 2022. Responses are due by October 27, 2022. A failure to comply will lead to dismissal. The Court directs counsel to serve a copy of this Order and any forthcoming motion on Defendants, and file a certificate of service. Mailed notice |
| 08/29/2022 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The deadline to file a joint initial status report is extended to December 2, 2022. Mailed notice. |
| 08/19/2022 | STATEMENT by Sekiguchi Co., Ltd. Regarding Asset Freeze 附件： 1:Exhibit 1 2:Exhibit 2 3:(Exhibit 3) |
| 08/09/2022 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Plaintiff's motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order (Dckt. No. 11). The proposed minute order includes a request for an asset freeze. By August 19, 2022, Plaintiff must file a statement and point to the statutory provision that gives this Court the power to impose an asset freeze at the outset of the case. If Plaintiff cannot point to a specific statutory provision, then Plaintiff must address how its request for an asset freeze is consistent with Grupo Mexicano de Desarrollo S.A. v. Alliance Bond Fund, Inc., 527 U.S. 308 (1999). In its memo, Plaintiff argues that "[c]ourts have the inherent authority to issue a prejudgment asset restraint when plaintiff's complaint seeks relief in equity." See Mem., at 23. In Grupo Mexicano, the Supreme Court held that a district court has "no authority to issue a preliminary injunction preventing [a defendant] from disposing of their assets pending adjudication of [plaintiff's] contract claim for money damages." Id. at 333. The Supreme Court adhered to the long-standing rule that "a judgment establishing the debt was necessary before a court of equity would interfere with the debtor's use of his property." Id. at 321. "However, the [Grupo] [C]ourt specifically noted that a restraint on assets was still proper if a suit sought equitable relief." See CSC Holdings, Inc. v. Redisi, 309 F.3d 988, 996 (7th Cir. 2002) (citing Grupo, 527 U.S. at 333; Deckert v. Independence Shares Corp., 311 U.S. 282, 288 (1940)). "[A]s a general matter [] prejudgment asset restraints are not proper simply to establish a fund from which a later award of money damages can be satisfied." See Banister v. Firestone, 2018 WL 4224444, at *9 (N.D. Ill. 2018). An equitable restraint at the outset of the case might be doable if Plaintiff obtained equitable monetary relief at the end of the day, like an accounting of profits. See Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 2013 WL 12314399 (N.D. Ill. 2013). But as a practical matter, in Schedule A cases, that recovery almost never happens, if at all. Instead, plaintiffs rush into court, seek and obtain an asset freeze, obtain a default judgment, and then ask district courts to unfreeze the money and award statutory damages, not equitable relief. In that scenario, it is not clear to this Court that it would be appropriate to use any frozen funds for any recovery of statutory damages, because statutory damages are a remedy at law, not a remedy in equity. If Plaintiff believes that it is appropriate for this Court to freeze funds at the outset of the case, and then use those funds to recover statutory damages (not equitable monetary relief) at the end of the case, then Plaintiff must explain why.

| 06/14/2022 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: An initial status report is due by August 29, 2022. Counsel must read the Standing Order entitled "Initial Status Conferences and Joint Initial Status Reports" on the Court's website. The parties must confer as required by Rule 26(f) about the nature, scope, and duration of discovery. The parties must submit two documents to the Court. First, the parties must file the Joint Initial Status Report under Rule 26(f) on the docket. A Word version of the Joint Initial Status Report is available on the Court's website. All parties must participate in the preparation and filing of the Joint Initial Status Report. The Court requires a joint report, so a filing by one side or the other is not sufficient. Second, the parties must email a Word version of a proposed Scheduling Order under Rule 16(b) to the Court's proposed order inbox. Lead counsel for the parties must participate in filing the initial status report. Plaintiff must serve this Order on all other parties. If the defendant has not been served with process, plaintiff's counsel must contact the Courtroom Deputy at jessica_j_ramos@ilnd.uscourts.gov to reschedule the initial status report deadline. Plaintiff should not file the Joint Initial Status Report before the defendant(s) has been served with process. The parties must discuss settlement in good faith and make a serious attempt to resolve this case amicably. All counsel of record must read and comply with this Court's Standing Orders on its webpage. Please pay special attention to the Standing Orders about Depositions and Discovery. Mailed notice. |
