MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 128 defendants 2 in a single action involving 39 copyright registrations 1. See, e.g., Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). By 11/15/24, plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the principles described in Estee Lauder. Plaintiff may also want to reference this Court's order in Bug Art Limited v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 7777, Dkt. 28, where the Court expressed its joinder-related concerns in cases of this size and type. In the alternative, plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 11/15/24 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. Estee Lauder, 334 F.R.D. at 189.
