MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial tracking status hearing set for 04/18/2025 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 04/10/2025. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendants have not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendants have been served, then Plaintiff must complete the 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.

2025-04-14 |
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) Although the motion 7 to seal is granted for now, the motion is premised on the Plaintiff's assertion that it was going to file a TRO motion, but none has been filed. Instead, the status report, R. 13, says that the Plaintiff plans on filing a motion for expedited discovery by 04/17/2025. If no TRO motion is filed by 04/18/2025, then the docket shall be unsealed. (2.) On review of the complaint, R. 1, there is a blank spot in Paragraph 14 where the examples of the Plaintiff's products are supposed to be displayed. And then the chart that follows immediately after is blank, and there is no introduction to the chart. The Plaintiff must file an Amended Complaint by 04/18/2025. (3.) On review of Schedule A, R. 8, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 77 Defendants. The Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 188-90 (N.D. Ill. 2020), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 04/18/2025. 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 explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. The tracking status hearing of 04/18/2025 is reset to 04/25/2025 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Emailed notice |
