Filing 20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The Court construes the joint status report (doc. #19 ) as an agreed motion to stay discovery until resolution of the pending motion to dismiss (doc. #10 ). The pendency of a motion to dismiss ordinarily is not a reason, in and of itself, to stay discovery. Here, because the parties are agreed, and because the Court expects to resolve the motion reasonably quickly, the stay is granted. No discovery schedule will be ordered until after resolution of the motion to dismiss, either by the Court's decision on the motion or by repleading. Mailed notice. (lxk, ) |
Filing 19 STATUS Report (Joint) by Scoular (Hasan, Kamron) |
Filing 18 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The 3/14/24 status report is deferred until 3/21/24 at noon for a report solely on discovery status, completed discovery, and a proposed schedule for completion. Mailed notice. (lxk, ) |
Filing 17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The motion by attorney Barton to appear pro hac vice (doc. #16 ) is granted. Mailed notice. (lxk, ) |

Filing 15 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: The motion by attorney Hasan to appear pro hac vice (doc. #13 ) is granted. Mailed notice. (lxk, ) |
Filing 14 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Defendant having filed a motion to dismiss (doc. #10 ), plaintiff as the non-moving party has a right to amend its pleading once within 21 days. Fed. R. Civ. P. 15(a)(1)(B). Consistent with the purpose of the Federal Rules "to secure the just, speedy, and inexpensive determination of every action and proceeding," Fed. R. Civ. P. 1, the non-moving party is directed to carefully review the motion to dismiss and exercise its right to amend under Rule 15(a)(1)(B), if appropriate, on or before 3/27/24. If plaintiff elects to amend its pleading in response to the motion to dismiss, then defendant shall, within 21 days of the amended pleading, file either: (1) an answer; or (2) a revised motion to dismiss. If the non-moving party elects to decline this opportunity to amend, and instead chooses to litigate the motion to dismiss, then the non-moving party (unless ordered otherwise by this Court) shall file its response no later than 4/3/24, and defendant shall file its reply no later than 4/17/24. In its response, plaintiff must also confirm whether, in its view, any deficiencies identified by the motion to dismiss could be cured by amendment. This Court then would take the motion under advisement and rule in due course. The parties and their attorneys shall only appear to argue the motion if ordered by this Court. If the parties litigate the motion to dismiss and the moving party prevails, then the non-moving party is advised that this Court may dismiss the case with or without prejudice under the appropriate legal standards. Mailed notice. (lxk, ) |

The present matter represents that refiled case. The parties are ordered to submit a joint status report by noon on 3/14/24 describing the current posture of the case, including what discovery has been completed, what additional discovery each side anticipates, a proposed schedule for completion including any expert, and whether the parties wish to explore settlement. Mailed notice. (lxk, ) |

Seeger be vacated as the assigned judge and the case shall be reassigned directly to the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes. Case reassigned to the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes for all further proceedings.

SUMMONS Issued as to Defendant Scoular (mcp, ) |
Filing 5 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: There is no need for a certificate of service for a court filing when all parties of record receive a copy through CM/ECF. Under the Local Rules, "[a] certificate of service is required only when service of a document filed on the Court's E-Filing system is made on a recipient who is not an E-Filer listed on the docket of the proceeding." See L.R. 5.5(a); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 5(d)(1)(B) ("No certificate of service is required when a paper is served by filing it with the court's electronic-filing system."). The Court handles service through CM/ECF. In effect, the CM/ECF header is the certificate of service. Save yourself the work, and the trouble. Mailed notice. (jjr, ) |
Filing 4 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: An initial status report is due by April 22, 2024. Counsel must read the Standing Order entitled "Initial Status Conferences and Joint Initial Status Reports" on the Court's website. The parties must confer as required by Rule 26(f) about the nature, scope, and duration of discovery. The parties must submit two documents to the Court. First, the parties must file the Joint Initial Status Report under Rule 26(f) on the docket. A Word version of the Joint Initial Status Report is available on the Court's website. All parties must participate in the preparation and filing of the Joint Initial Status Report. The Court requires a joint report, so a filing by one side or the other is not sufficient. Second, the parties must email a Word version of a proposed Scheduling Order under Rule 16(b) to the Court's proposed order inbox. Lead counsel for the parties must participate in filing the initial status report. Plaintiff must serve this Order on all other parties. If the defendant has not been served with process, plaintiff's counsel must contact the Courtroom Deputy at jessica_j_ramos@ilnd.uscourts.gov to reschedule the initial status report deadline. Plaintiff should not file the Joint Initial Status Report before the defendant(s) has been served with process. The parties must discuss settlement in good faith and make a serious attempt to resolve this case amicably. All counsel of record must read and comply with this Court's Standing Orders on its webpage. Please pay special attention to the Standing Orders about Depositions and Discovery. Mailed notice.
