| 12/13/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: Plaintiff's Motion to Seal 4 is granted. Plaintiff is asked to file an Initial Status Report by 12/30/2024 consistent with the criteria listed on Judge Perry's website at www.ilnd.uscourts.gov. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) of joining 162 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). The Seventh Circuit has found it "appropriate for federal courts to raise improper joinder on their own, especially when the sheer number of defendants waves a joinder red flag and ups the chances that the plaintiff should be paying separate filing fees for separate cases." Id. at 186 (discussing George v. Smith, 507 F.3d 605, 607 (7th Cir. 2007)). The necessity of sua sponte evaluation intensifies "when it would take enormous time and effort to check the evidence such as screenshots of dozens and dozens of defendants' online stores amassed into a single case absent actual connections between the defendants." Id. By 12/30/2024, the plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described above. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 12/30/2024 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,) |
