October 25, 2023 Filing 59 SEALED TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER Signed by the Honorable Mary M. Rowland on 10/25/2023. Mailed notice. (dm, )
October 25, 2023 Filing 58 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order #54 is granted. Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process #23 is granted. Enter Sealed Temporary Restraining Order. On or before 11/6/23, Plaintiff shall file a status report addressing the status of all defendants (including identifying the defendant name and number; any defendants that have not been served; whether they have been dismissed or are in settlement discussions). In addition, the Clerk is directed to replace "John Doe" with Plaintiff's name, Siu Shong Tsang, in the case caption. Mailed notice. (dm, )
October 23, 2023 Filing 57 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: As this Court previously indicated, it will require $1,000 bond per defendant in this case, totaling $167,000. In light of Plaintiff's indication that it elected not to pursue proceeding anonymously further, Plaintiff's motion to proceed anonymously #25 is denied. Plaintiff's motions to seal #26 , #56 are granted. Plaintiff's motion for TRO #54 is under advisement. Plaintiff shall promptly send to the Court's proposed order box a proposed TRO (not using a pseudonym; the TRO will be entered as a sealed document), and Plaintiff is reminded that future filings in this case cannot contain a pseudonym for Plaintiff. Plaintiff's prior TRO motion #31 is denied without prejudice as moot. Mailed notice (cn).
October 23, 2023 NEW PARTIES: Siu Shong Tsang added to case caption. Terminating John Doe (Chiacchio, Theodore)
September 29, 2023 Filing 56 MOTION by Plaintiff John Doe to seal document #29 , #31 - #52 , #54 - #55 (Chiacchio, Theodore)
September 28, 2023 Filing 55 SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff John Doe Memorandum in Support of Second Amended Ex Parte Motion for Entry of Temporary Restraining Order (Chiacchio, Theodore)
September 28, 2023 Filing 54 SEALED MOTION by Plaintiff John Doe Second Amended Ex Parte Motion for Entry of Temporary Restraining Order (Chiacchio, Theodore)
September 22, 2023 Filing 53 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's Amended Ex Parte Motion for Entry of Temporary Restraining Order #31 and memorandum in support #32 . The Court denies Plaintiff's request to pay only a $10,000 bond. Consistent with this Court's practice in cases like this one, the Court requires $1,000 bond per defendant. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 65(c); Gateway E. Ry. Co. v. Terminal R.R. Ass'n of St. Louis, 35 F.3d 1134, 1141 (7th Cir. 1994) (explaining that the amount of the bond is within the court's discretion). In addition, it does not appear that Plaintiff has addressed this Court's prior concern about Plaintiff proceeding anonymously. "No-name litigation is disfavored in general, and particularly in this Circuit." XYZ Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 21-CV-06471, 2022 WL 180151, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022). Plaintiff must explain how this case fits in the narrow category that "overcome[s] the presumption that parties' identities are public information." Roe v. Dettelbach, 59 F.4th 255, 259 (7th Cir. 2023). On or before 9/29/23, Plaintiff should file amended motion and memorandum in support in compliance with this order, and submit an accompanying proposed order to the Court's proposed order box. Finally, Plaintiff's original Ex Parte Motion for Entry of Temporary Restraining Order #29 is denied as moot. Mailed notice. (dm, )

September 11, 2023 Filing 30 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Plaintiff has filed a motion for TRO. The motion does not address bond, a requirement of FRCP 65. This Court requires $1,000 bond per defendant in this case. The motion #7 is denied without prejudice to Plaintiff filing an amended motion for TRO. Plaintiff's motion for alternative service and motion for leave to file under seal and to proceed temporarily under a pseudonym are under advisement. However Plaintiff is advised that upon filing its amended motion, the Court is not inclined to permit it to proceed under a pseudonym. See XYZ Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, No. 21-CV-06471, 2022 WL 180151, at *1 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022) ("No-name litigation is disfavored in general, and particularly in this Circuit."). Mailed notice (ags)
