March 17, 2021 Filing 23 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff has filed a motion (No. #22 ) for leave to file an amended complaint dropping his claims against defendant Trans Union, LLC. The motion states that all defendants who have appeared are unopposed, but because defendant Equifax Information Services, LLC ("Equifax") has not yet appeared (see No. #21 ), its position is unknown. Equifax's consent is not required to amend the complaint because the record shows that plaintiff served the complaint and summons upon Equifax on March 12, 2021, and a complaint can be amended once as a matter of course within 21 days after service. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(A). Plaintiff's motion (No. #22 ) is therefore granted, and plaintiff is directed to file his proposed amended complaint as a separate docket entry. Mailed notice (mjc, )

February 2, 2021 Opinion or Order Filing 3 ORDER: An initial status report and, if appropriate, case management plan is due on or before April 7, 2021. The parties are directed to consult Judge Gottschall's website for specific requirements for all written status reports and for the discovery plans. In conformity with the Ninth Amended General Order 20-12 and due to the need for social distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic, this court is ordering written status reports instead of routine oral status hearings. This includes initial status hearings and scheduling conferences under Fed. R. Civ. P. 16(b). See Judge Gottschall's website for the procedure for requesting a hearing. No Rule 26(f) discovery plan should be submitted until all defendants have been served. If all defendants have not been served by the deadline for filing an initial status report, the report should so state and propose a deadline for filing a discovery plan. The parties are directed to discuss settlement and whether they consent to proceed before the Magistrate Judge. They are further directed to meet and confer regarding a proposed discovery plan. See Judge Gottschall's civil case management packet regarding pretrial case management procedures at: http://www.ilnd.uscourts.gov. Signed by the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall on 2/2/2021.
