May 5, 2022 Filing 10 STATUS Report Joint Initial Status Report by Hilario Martin (Mccormick, Seth)
April 27, 2022 Filing 9 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: On review of the Notice of Removal, R. 1, and the state court complaint, R. 1-1, the Court issues the following jurisdictional inquiry. Over the past few years, the Seventh Circuit has issued a series of opinions clarifying when FDCPA plaintiffs do and do not have Article III standing. See, e.g., Markakos v. Medicredit, Inc., 997 F.3d 778 (7th Cir. 2021); Nettles v. Midland Funding, 983 F.3d 896 (7th Cir. 2020); Larkin v. Finance System of Green Bay, Inc., 982 F.3d 1060, 1066 (7th Cir. 2020); Brunett v. Convergent Outsourcing, Inc., 982 F.3d 1067 (7th Cir. 2020); Bazile v. Finance System of Green Bay, Inc., 983 F.3d 274 (7th Cir. 2020); Casillas v. Madison Ave Assocs., Inc., 926 F.3d 329, 333 (7th Cir. 2019). Based on this binding circuit precedent, it appears that the Plaintiff's allegations are insufficient to assert Article III standing. Of course, the Court will allow the parties to file position papers addressing whether Martin has established an injury-in-fact in her pleadings and has standing to bring this suit. Given the likely respective positions of the parties, the Plaintiff shall file her Jurisdictional Statement by 05/11/2022. The defense Response to Jurisdictional Statement shall be filed by 05/25/2022. The Plaintiff's Reply on Jurisdictional Statement is due by 06/02/2022. The parties still must file the status report due on 05/05/2022, but they may skip the subject matter jurisdiction section due to this briefing schedule. Emailed notice (mw, )

April 19, 2022 Filing 6 MAILED Notice of Removal Letter to Plaintiff's Counsel, Celetha Chatman, Michael Wood, and Seth Barrow Mccormick. (jh, )
April 19, 2022 Filing 5 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Edmond E. Chang: Initial tracking status hearing set for 05/13/2022 at 8:30 a.m. to track the case only (no appearance is required, the case will not be called). Instead, the Court will set the case schedule after reviewing the written status report. The parties must file a joint initial status report with the content described in the attached status report requirements by 05/05/2022. Plaintiff must still file the report even if Defendant has not responded to requests to craft a joint report. If Defendant has not 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. Emailed notice (Attachments: #1 Status Report Requirements) (mw, )
