MEMORANDUM in support of 16 Exparte motion
Amended Schedule A to the Complaint 1 and Schedule A 2 by Stewart Creative, LLC
MINUTE entry before the Honorable April M. Perry: It appearing that the case filed is a "Schedule A" case, Plaintiff is directed to the Court's standing order on its website directing the filing of the Court's Schedule A Template within 14 days. Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) of joining 44 defendants to this action. See, e.g, Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182 (N.D. Ill. 2020). Plaintiff should reference this Court's opinion in Zaful v. Schedule A Defs., 24-cv-11111, Doc. 12 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 10, 2025), where the Court expressed its views on joinder in Schedule A cases. By 2/19/2026, Plaintiff must file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder in light of the above cases and describing why each of the 44 defendants is properly joined to the others. In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 2/19/2026 with a smaller subset of defendants along with a memorandum explaining why each defendant is properly joined to all of the others. To the extent Plaintiff intends to file a request for service via electronic means, that motion must be filed by 2/19/2026. Mailed notice. (jcc,)
