| Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Plaintiff and defendants disagree about whether discovery should commence while defendant Synchrony Financial's motion to dismiss the complaint against it (but not co-defendant Credit Solutions, LLC) is being briefed and decided. The parties have not given the court enough information in their status report #16 to determine whether staying discovery is appropriate. A motion to dismiss a complaint does not automatically result in a stay of discovery; several factors must be weighed. See generally Robinson v. Walgreen Co., 2021 WL 2453069, at *2 (N.D. Ill. June 16, 2021). Any motion to stay discovery must be filed on or before 11/14/2022, and any response is due on or before 11/21/2022. No reply is authorized. Mailed notice (mjc, ) |

| Filing 14 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: Defendant Synchrony Financial's motion #11 to dismiss under Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(b) and 12(b)(6) is briefed as follows (all dates inclusive): response due: 11/14/2022; reply due: 11/28/2022. Because defendant Credit Solutions, LLC, has answered #9 the complaint, the deadline of 10/27/2022 to file a joint initial status report shall stand. Mailed notice (mjc, ) |
| Filing 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: The notification of affiliates #10 filed by defendant Credit Solutions, LLC, states that "[n]o publicly traded company owns 10% or more of its stock." Effective May 5, 2022, Local Rule 3.2(a)'s definition of affiliates was amended as follows: "For purposes of this rule, 'affiliate' is defined as any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party." See N.D. Ill. Gen. Order No. 22-0009 (May 5, 2022). Under this definition, all entities and persons meeting the definition of affiliate must be identified regardless of whether the disclosing party's stock is publicly held. Credit Solutions, LLC, is directed to file an amended notification of affiliates on or before 10/28/2022. Mailed notice (mjc, ) |

| Filing 8 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Joan B. Gottschall: The agreed motion #7 for an extension to and including 10/13/2022 of defendants' deadline to answer or otherwise respond to the complaint is granted. The parties' joint initial status report is due on or before 10/27/2022. In conformity with General Order 21-0027 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 and for requirements for status reports and discovery plans during the COVID-19 pandemic. 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.
