Acierto v. Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Plaintiff's motion for an extension of the TRO (Dckt. No. 17). That motion is denied as moot. The Court notes that Plaintiff has not moved for a preliminary injunction since its TRO expired in mid-October. And as a general matter, this Court isn't convinced that the countless TROs repeatedly entered by courts in this District in Schedule A cases are having any real-world impact. The Court also reviewed Plaintiff's various notices of voluntary dismissals (Dckt. Nos. 20, 22, 23 24). Those voluntary dismissals are self-effectuating, and the following defendants are dismissed from the case: platinum crystal snow Zhi, Bobbi UUS, YouYangYGSKJDZGJFIEOGHKFDJ, One Rich, KUQIN, Gaoxi E -commerce Co. Ltd, SIDAN, Crazylunatic, and AW20KGN0YDGDO. By January 12, 2026, Plaintiff must file an amended Schedule A that identifies all remaining Defendants. A summons was issued on October 21, 2025, two and a half months ago. But Plaintiff has not filed an affidavit of service, let alone pursued a default. It is not apparent whether Plaintiff has effectuated service of process. Plaintiff must file a status report by January 12, 2026, and must show cause why the case should not be dismissed for want of prosecution. Mailed notice

NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by Tyrone Acierto

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: An initial status report is due by October 24, 2025. Counsel must read the Standing Order entitled "Initial Status Conferences and Joint Initial Status Reports" on the Court's website. The parties must confer as required by Rule 26(f) about the nature, scope, and duration of discovery. The parties must submit two documents to the Court. First, the parties must file the Joint Initial Status Report under Rule 26(f) on the docket. A Word version of the Joint Initial Status Report is available on the Court's website. All parties must participate in the preparation and filing of the Joint Initial Status Report. The Court requires a joint report, so a filing by one side or the other is not sufficient. Second, the parties must email a Word version of a proposed Scheduling Order under Rule 16(b) to the Court's proposed order inbox. Lead counsel for the parties must participate in filing the initial status report. Plaintiff must serve this Order on all other parties. If the defendant has not been served with process, plaintiff's counsel must contact the Courtroom Deputy at jessica_j_ramos@ilnd.uscourts.gov to reschedule the initial status report deadline. Plaintiff should not file the Joint Initial Status Report before the defendant(s) has been served with process. The parties must discuss settlement in good faith and make a serious attempt to resolve this case amicably. All counsel of record must read and comply with this Court's Standing Orders on its webpage. Please pay special attention to the Standing Orders about Depositions and Discovery. Mailed notice.
