The tracking status hearing of 11/07/2025 is reset to 12/12/2025 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Plaintiff shall file a status report by 12/05/2025. Emailed notice
19	11/03/2025	FIRST AMENDED complaint by Wumei Lin against HONG KONG JIBI LIMITED and terminating The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified in Schedule A for Copyright Infringement Exhibit 1 to the Complaint Exhibit 2 to the Complaint Exhibit 3 to the Complaint
18	10/20/2025	MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: (1.) On review of Plaintiff XYZ Corporation's motion to seal, the motion 4 is denied. Parties to federal-court litigation generally are barred from proceeding under a pseudonym by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 10(a). There are very narrow exceptions, Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wisc., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir. 1997), and indeed the Seventh Circuit instructs that, even absent a motion to proceed under a pseudonym, district courts have an independent duty to scrutinize the propriety of pseudonymous litigation, Doe v. City of Chicago, 360 F.3d 667, 669-70 (7th Cir. 2004). Here, no evidence is offered in support of the declaration attached to the Plaintiff's motion. In particular, there is no evidence in support of the key assertions in Paragraph 12 of the declaration, including evidence that is specific to this particular Plaintiff. The Plaintiff must file a publicly available version of the complaint that does not redact the Plaintiff's name. For now, Schedule A may remain under seal given the goal of asset restraint. (2.) But on review of the complaint, R. 2-3, and the TRO brief, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 33 Defendants. The Plaintiff shall review the opinion in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 18789 (N.D. Ill. 2020) (addressing trademarks, but applicable to copyright-infringement case), and file a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder by 11/03/2025. In lieu of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline, the Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with (a) one defendant or (b) a subset of the defendants along with a memo explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. Given the joinder issue, the motion 12 for TRO and the motion 11 for electronic service are terminated without prejudice. (3.) If and when the Amended Complaint is filed with an Amended Schedule A, the Plaintiff must include screenshots of the online sellers with pricing information and, if available, legible screenshots showing number reviews, number of items sold, and other information about the online seller (such as when it joined temu), not just thumbnails and links. (4.) The notices of motion of 10/21/2025 are vacated. To track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called), a tracking status hearing is set for 11/07/2025 at 8:30 a.m. Emailed notice
