Date Filed Document Text
August 8, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the status report, in light of when waivers of service were sent, the status hearing of 08/11/2020 is reset to 09/11/2020 at 8:30 a.m., but to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Plaintiffs shall file a status report on service by 09/02/2020. Separately, on review of the complaint, the Court issues the following subject matter jurisdiction inquiry. The Plaintiffs invoke diversity jurisdiction. But the citizenship of the two LLCs is insufficiently alleged. An LLC's citizenship is not like a corporation's; instead an LLC is a citizen of every state where its members are citizens. Wise v. Wachovia Securities, LLC, 450 F.3d 265, 267 (7th Cir. 2006). Paragraphs 11 and 12 of the Complaint do not set forth the identities of the LLCs' members (let alone each member's citizenship). By 08/24/2020, the Plaintiffs shall file a Jurisdictional Statement that identifies the members and their citizenships. Also, eventually the individual defendants, after they are served, must confirm their States of citizenship; right now, the Complaint only alleges citizenship on information and belief. Lastly, to avoid confusion, the Clerk's Office shall edit the title of R. 9 to start COMPLAINT (PUBLIC VERSION). Emailed notice (Chang, Edmond)

July 10, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 11 ORDER Fifth Amended General Order 20-0012 IN RE: CORONAVIRUS COVID-19 PUBLIC EMERGENCY Signed by the Chief Judge Rebecca R. Pallmeyer on July 10, 2020. This Order does not extend or modify any deadlines set in civil cases. No motions may be noticed for in-person presentment; the presiding judge will notify parties of the need, if any, for a hearing by electronic means or in-court proceeding. See attached Order. Signed by the Honorable Rebecca R. Pallmeyer on 7/10/2020: Mailed notice. (Clerk10, Docket)
June 28, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial status hearing set for 08/11/2020 at 9:00 a.m. If held, the initial status hearing will be held telephonically. The parties shall provide a contact number to the courtroom deputy (Michael_Wing@ilnd.uscourts.gov) by 1:00 p.m. on the prior business day. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 08/03/2020. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If not all Defendants have been served, then Plaintiff must complete the part of the report on the progress of service. Also, counsel (or the parties, if proceeding pro se) must carefully review Judge Chang's Case Management Procedures, available online at ilnd.uscourts.gov (navigate to Judges / District Judges / Judge Edmond E. Chang). Because the Procedures are occasionally revised, counsel (or the party, if proceeding pro se) must read them anew even if the counsel or the party has appeared before Judge Chang in other cases.

June 25, 2020 Opinion or Order Filing 8 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Plaintiffs' motion #6 to file redacted version of the complaint's exhibits is granted. Because it is not possible to seal CM/ECF exhibits to a primary entry, this will be accomplished as follows: the Clerk's Office shall seal R. 1 in its entirety.
