ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/31/2025: Mailed notice.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) Docket entry R. [4] was filed by the Plaintiff as a motion, but the filing is labeled as an amended complaint under seal, and it is not a motion. It is thus terminated on CM/ECF as a motion. In the future, the Plaintiff must not create confusion and make-work like this. (2.) The motion [9] to seal is granted, but only provisionally. The Court will again review the propriety of sealing when evaluating the underlying motion. (3.) It appears that R. 10 supersedes R. 5 (which is also a TRO motion), so R. [5] is terminated. (4.) The Plaintiff's extension motion [11] to file the joinder memo is granted to 09/23/2025. Mailed notice
