Provided that Plaintiff provides the security described in paragraph 10 of the temporary restraining order, the temporary restraining order shall become effective on January 11, 2023 at 6:00 p.m. and shall expire in fourteen (14) days from the effective date. The Court finds that joinder of the "Schedule A" Defendants is proper at this preliminary stage. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A). The Court notes that no Defendants are prejudiced by permitting joinder at this juncture. See Bose Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A", 334 F.R.D. 511, 517 (N.D. Ill. 2020). To the extent any defendant appears and objects to joinder, the Court will revisit the issue and is free to sever certain defendants from the case under Rule 21 at that time. Emailed notice

33 2023-02-07 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's motion to extend the temporary restraining order as to certain Defendants [29]. The temporary restraining order [20] has already been extended by a period of 14 days [25]. Plaintiff has not argued that Defendants 1 through117 have consented to this extension. The case law cited to by Plaintiff in its motion supports the denial of this requested relief, and the Court declines to extend the temporary restraining order beyond the 28-day period, and denies the motion with prejudice.

Hellenic Duty Free Shops S.A., 694 F.3d 827, 844 (7th Cir. 2012) ("In our view, the language of Rule 65(b)(2) and the great weight of authority support the view that 28 days is the outer limit for a TRO without the consent of the enjoined party, regardless of whether the TRO was issued with or without notice.")
