MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: By 8/1/2025, the plaintiff is required to file (1) a listing of all prior online trademark, copyright, or patent infringement cases (also known as "Schedule A" cases) filed in any court in the United States in which it was a plaintiff, and (2) a listing of any of the defendants included in the Schedule A in this case that the plaintiff has previously named as a defendant in any prior complaint or Schedule A case.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr:Upon review of the plaintiff's Declaration 20 in response to the Court's 7/28/25 order 14, this case is dismissed without prejudice. The plaintiff acknowledges that all defendants included in the Schedule A in this case were originally named as defendants in case no. 25-cv-07497. It appears that in that case, after Judge Harjani sua sponte raised the issue of joinder, the plaintiff voluntarily amended its complaint to omit the defendants now named in this case rather than defend its decision to join 217 defendants in the same action and filed a new case joining almost all of the defendants originally named in the case before Judge Harjani. That is a form of forum shopping: filing a claim, dismissing that claim in anticipation of an adverse ruling, and then filing a new suit that presents the same claim before a different judge in an effort to avoid the anticipated adverse ruling. If the plaintiff wishes to pursue its claims against the defendants included in the Schedule A in this case, those claims must be asserted in the case in which they were originally presented. If joinder is deemed improper in that case, remedies such as severance may be available, but refiling the claims against 189 defendants in new cases until a case is assigned to a judge the plaintiff believes to be hospitable to joinder is not such a remedy. All future dates and deadlines are stricken; all pending motions are denied as moot. Civil case terminated. Mailed notice |
