Filing 13
ORDER: On consideration of the parties joint memorandum and a review of the record, these appeals will proceed to briefing. Briefing will proceed as follows: 1. Anthony M. Romano and Heil Co. shall file their opening briefs and required short appendices in the main appeals docketed as Nos. 26-2494 and 26-2495 on or before September 8, 2026. 2. Sonrai Systems, LLC, shall file its combined responsive brief in the main appeals and opening brief and appendix in the cross-appeal docketed as No. 26-2493 on or before October 8, 2026. 3. Romano and Heil Co., shall file their reply briefs, if any, in the main appeals and responsive briefs in the cross-appeal on or before November 9, 2026. 4. Geotab, Inc., shall file their responsive brief in the cross-appeal on or before November 9, 2026. 5. Sonrai Systems, LLC, shall file its reply brief, if any, in the cross-appeal on or before November 30, 2026. A review of the short records reveals that these appeals involve more than one defendant represented by different counsel. Counsel for defendants are encouraged to avoid unnecessary duplication by filing a joint brief or a joint appendix or by adopting parts of a co-defendants brief. Duplicative briefing will be stricken and may result in disciplinary sanctions against counsel. See United States v. Torres, 170 F.3d 749 (7th Cir. 1999); United States v. Ashman, 964 F.2d 596 (7th Cir. 1992). Defendants, insofar as they are appellants, however, may not adopt the Jurisdictional Statement of another appellant. Each appellants brief must include a complete Jurisdictional Statement. JXK [7545787] [26-2494, 26-2495, 26-2493] (PS) [Entered: 08/06/2026 11:54 AM]

Filing 2
ORDER: The court, on its own motion, orders that these appeals are CONSOLIDATED for purposes of briefing and disposition. A preliminary review of the short records suggests that the judgment may be deficient. The parties each shall file, on or before August 4, 2026, a brief memorandum addressing whether this court has jurisdiction over these appeals and whether these appeals should be remanded to the district court to enter a corrected judgment. The memorandums should distinguish between the possibilities that any deficiency in the judgment reflects (1) a mere clerical mistake, for which the court may remand for correction or (2) the absence of a final decision under 28 U.S.C. 1291, requiring the court to dismiss the appeal for lack of jurisdiction. See Grunt Style , 140 F.4th at 844. Briefing is SUSPENDED pending further court order. Further, the appellants each shall file, on or before August 4, 2026, amended docketing statements that provide a complete statement of jurisdiction. In particular, each partys docketing statement fails to identify the citizenship of Geotab, Inc., and the statements should also provide the identity and citizenship of all the members of Sonrai Systems, LLC.
