Upon review of the complaint, the Court sua sponte raises the propriety of joining 19 defendants in a single action.

In the alternative, Plaintiff has leave to file an amended complaint by 7/22/2026 with a smaller subset of Defendants along with a memorandum explaining why that smaller subset of Defendants is properly joined. No motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order should be filed in this matter without counsel first consulting this Court's order in Wham-O Holding v. The Partnerships, 24 CV 12523, Dkt. 39 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 20, 2025). Initial status hearing is set for 9/15/2026 at 9:30 a.m. in person in Courtroom 1719.
