MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) No motion to seal has been filed, even though Schedule A, R. 2, was filed under seal. The Plaintiff must file a motion to seal no later than 10/10/2025. (2.) The Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 374 Defendants. The Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, Case No. 19-cv-7878, 2020 WL 433870 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 27, 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 10/15/2025 (filed under seal if needed). In lieu of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline, the Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with (a) one defendant or (b) a subset of the defendants along with a memo specifically explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. (3.) Initial tracking status hearing set for 10/17/2025 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the ***ATTACHED*** status report requirements (do ***not*** use templates from other cases) by 10/24/2025. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant(s) have not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendant(s) have been served, then Plaintiff must complete a part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: The motions for discovery and for alternative service 11, 12 are granted for good cause, given the need to obtain information and to provide reasonable notice.
