MEMORANDUM in Support of 22 RENEWED Exparte Motion
AMENDED complaint by Andrea Alice Muller against The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sara L. Ellis: Plaintiff filed this case against 198 defendants for infringing 2 copyrights registered to Plaintiff. Under Rule 20, a plaintiff may join multiple defendants in a single action if: (1) the claims against them are asserted with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences, and (2) a question of law or fact common to all defendants exists. Fed. R. Civ. P. 20(a)(2)(A)(B). In reviewing the complaint in this case, it does not appear that joinder is proper as to all Defendants. As the Court stated in Roadget Business Pte. Ltd. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Cos., Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A Hereto, alleging that multiple defendants have infringed on the same copyright, trademark, or patent in the same way, without more, does not create the substantial evidentiary overlap required to find joinder proper. No. 23 C 17036, 2024 WL 1858592, at *67 (N.D. Ill. Apr. 29, 2024). The Court directs Plaintiff to file an amended complaint by 3/4/2025 as well as a statement on joinder explaining how the remaining Defendants comply with the Court's order in Roadget. The Court sets a status hearing for 3/18/2025 at 9:30 AM. The Court grants Plaintiff's motions for leave to file under seal 14 and for leave to file excess pages 15. The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order 16 without prejudice. Mailed notice.
