| 12/06/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1) and Plaintiff's Voluntary Dismissal 16, this action is being dismissed without prejudice. All pending motions and deadlines are terminated as moot. Civil case terminated. Civil case terminated. Emailed notice. |
| 12/02/2024 | NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Afremov all remaining defendants |
| 11/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff names 30 Defendants in this single case [2-2] and seeks ex parte TRO relief against each of them [6]. However, after reviewing the complaint [2] and other filings, the Court questions whether Plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all Defendants. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2); Viking Arm AS v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 24 C 1566, 2024 WL 2953105 (N.D. Ill. June 6, 2024). By 11/26/24, Plaintiff must either (a) file a supplemental memorandum that refers to specific facts alleged in its filings and provides citations to specific screenshots associated with each Schedule A Defendant to demonstrate that joinder is proper; or (b) file under seal an amended schedule A with a subset of Defendants, along with an amended declaration that explains how each of these defendants is properly joined with each other and includes labeled exhibits that contain screenshots or other information specific to Defendants listed on amended Schedule A only. The motion for a TRO [6] is taken under advisement until the joinder issue is resolved. No appearance is necessary on 11/14/24. Emailed notice. |
| 11/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motion to exceed page limitation [10] is granted. Plaintiff may exceed the 15-page limit by filing a 29-page memorandum in support of TRO [7] instanter. No appearance is necessary on 11/14/24. Emailed notice. |
| 11/12/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal [5] and [9] are granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were Defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of a temporary restraining order, 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 has filed an ex parte TRO motion, and the identity of the defendant entities 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. Loyola Univ. Chicago, 100 F.4th 910, 913 (7th Cir. 2024). Thus, the request to seal Plaintiff's complaint [2] and exhibits [2-1] is denied. Conversely, subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, Plaintiff may file under seal its Schedule A [2-2] and Exhibit 2 to the Declaration of Boris Afremov [8]. The Clerk's Office is directed to unseal the following filings: [2] and [2-1]. The documents filed at [2-2] and [8] shall remain under seal pending further order of the Court. No appearance is necessary on 11/14/24. Emailed notice. |
