Ltd., Shenzhen Tanshou Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Yichu Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Youxinshancun Technology Co., Ltd. to Limit Asset Freeze |
| 06/25/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: The Unopposed Motion for 14-day Extension of Time to Respond to the Complaint [20] was not accompanied by the required notice of presentment. As a one-time courtesy and because the relief sought is not opposed, the Court will consider and grant the motion [20]. However, for future reference, counsel is reminded that non-compliant motions may be stricken. Defendants Guizhou Xiaozhiyang Trading Co., Ltd.; Marvel Technology (China) Co., Ltd.; Shenshen Harzhi Technology Co., Ltd.; Shenzhen Huashan Technology Co., Ltd.; Shenzhen Jisufeng Technology Co. Ltd.; Shenzhen Tanshou Technology Co., Ltd.; Shenzhen Yichu Technology Co., Ltd.; and Shenzhen Youxinshancun Technology Co., Ltd.'s responses to the complaint are due by 7/9/24. In reviewing the docket, the Court notes that the sealed Temporary Restraining Order [16] that was entered on 5/22/24 expired weeks ago; consequently, the Clerk is directed to unseal all previously sealed documents at [3], [5], [13], and [16]. By 6/28/24, Plaintiff is ordered to ensure that all defendants on Amended Schedule A are added to the docket. Indeed, 8 of the 9 Defendants filed the instant motion [20] and appear on the docket because a notice of appearance [19] was filed on their behalf. However, Defendant OLYLO Direct is not listed on the docket nor was it included in the motion [20]. Finally, Plaintiff requested that summons issue on 6/4/24, but has not filed any proof of service. The Court therefore cannot determine when answers to the complaint are actually due. The motion [20] suggests the deadline is 6/25/24. Plaintiff is ordered to file the proper proof of service on the docket by 6/28/24. Mailed notice. |
| 06/24/2024 | MOTION by Defendants Guizhou Xiaozhiyang Trading Co., Ltd., Marvel Technology (China) Co., Ltd., Shenshen Harzhi Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Huashan Technology Co., Ltd, Shenzhen Jisufeng Technology Co. Ltd., Shenzhen Tanshou Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Yichu Technology Co., Ltd., Shenzhen Youxinshancun Technology Co., Ltd. for extension of time to file answer regarding complaint, [1] (Unopposed Motion for 14-Day Extension of Time to Respond to the Complaint) |
| 05/22/2024 | SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 5/22/2024. Mailed notice |
| 04/29/2024 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal [4] [7] are granted in part and denied in part. Schedule A [3], Exhibits B [3-2], B-1 [3-3], and B-2 [3-4] to the Complaint, the Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion for Entry of Asset Restraint Order, Expedited Discovery, and Alternative Service [5], and Exhibit B to the Motion [5-2] shall remain sealed until further court order. Plaintiff is, however, directed to file a public version of the motion, redacting defendants' identifying information, by 5/6/24. Exhibit A to the Complaint [3-1] and the Declaration of Riad Chummun [5-1] shall be unsealed, as Plaintiff has not established any basis for sealing those documents. See Union Oil Co. of Cal. v. Leavell, 220 F.3d 562, 567-68 (7th Cir. 2000). Plaintiff names 23 defendants in this single case and seeks ex parte relief against each of them [5]. However, after reviewing the complaint [1], the Court questions whether plaintiff has established sufficient grounds for joinder of all defendants under Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2). See Estee Lauder Cosmetics, Ltd. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020); Art Ask Agency v. Individuals, Corps. Ltd. Liab. Cos., P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 21-cv-06197, 2021 WL 5493226 (N.D. Ill. Nov. 23, 2021); Bose Corp. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," 334 F.R.D. 511 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 5/13/24, Plaintiff is ordered to 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. Alternatively, by the same deadline, plaintiff may file under seal an amended schedule A with a subset of the defendants and an amended declaration that explains how each of these defendants is properly joined with each other. Any amended declaration must attach labeled exhibits that contain screenshots or other information specific only to the defendants listed on amended Schedule A. The motion for a ex parte relief [5] will remain under advisement until the joinder issue is resolved. Emailed notice. |
