Moreover, Art Ask Agency's Complaint is nearly identical to the complaint it filed in Case No. 21-cv-6197 (N.D. Ill.), which was also before us. (Compare Dkt. No. 1, with Dkt. No. 1, Case No. 21-cv-6197 (N.D. Ill.).) In Case No. 21-cv-6197, we ordered Art Ask Agency to show cause, in writing, as to why the case should not be severed for misjoinder. Art Ask Agency v.

For the same reasons, we order Art Ask Agency to show cause, in writing, as to why this case should not be severed for misjoinder. Art Ask Agency has until September 26, 2022, to do so. Alternatively, Art Ask Agency may file an amended complaint by then if it can cure the joinder issues that we raised in the previous case before us. In the meantime, Art Ask Agency's pending motions (Dkt. Nos. #6 , #9 ) are taken under advisement. Mailed notice (ags)
