| Filing 32 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Z. Lee: Motion hearing held on 1/14/21. Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal, motion to file excess pages and for a temporary restraining order #5 #7 #8 are granted.Mailed notice (ca, ) |
| Filing 31 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Z. Lee: Plaintiff Valentino Rossi has filed this suit alleging trademark infringement and related claims against 232 e-commerce store operators believed to reside in foreign jurisdictions. Given that large number of Defendants, the Court instructed Plaintiff to file a memorandum of law showing why their joinder is appropriate under Rule 20(a)(2). Upon review of Plaintiff's memorandum in support of joinder, the Court agrees that joinder is proper for the following three defendants, as identified by their corresponding line numbers on the sealed Schedule A: Nos. 11, 13, and 46. Plaintiff states that these defendants not only sell virtually identical counterfeit products, but do so through similarly designated e-commerce storefronts, using similar product descriptions and photos, and selling the products for similar prices. See Mem. Supp. Joinder at 23 #29 ; Ex. AA #30 (screenshots of relevant defendants' e-commerce storefronts). These circumstances suffice to create a plausible inference that their allegedly infringing conduct is "logically related," Mosely v. Gen. Motors Corp., 497 F.2d 1330, 1333 (8th Cir. 1974), and not simply parallel, see 6/22/20 Order, Este Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. v. The P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule "A," No. 20 C 845 (N.D. Ill.) (Lee, J.), ECF No. 40. Thus, joinder is permitted as to these fifteen defendants, and the remaining 229 defendants are dismissed sua sponte. Mailed notice (ca, ) |

| Filing 27 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Z. Lee:Plaintiff is given until 12/17/20, to file a memorandum supporting joinder of defendants that engages in detail with the joinder framework set forth in the Court's June 22, 2020 order in Estee Lauder Cosmetics Ltd. et al v. The Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A," 20-cv-845 at ECF No. 40. Plaintiff may alternatively file an amended complaint that is in compliance with that framework. Motion hearing set for 12/3/20 is reset to 1/14/21 at 9:00 AM. a.m. In light of the COVID-19 pandemic and the related General Orders, the Court finds that it is necessary to conduct the status hearing via telephone conference.

Counsel of record will receive a separate email at least 12 hours prior to the start of the telephonic hearing with instructions on how to join the call. All persons granted remote access to proceedings are reminded of the general prohibition against photographing, recording, and rebroadcasting of court proceedings. Violation of these prohibitions may result in court-imposed sanctions, including removal of court issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court.
