| Filing 14 NOTICE of Voluntary Dismissal by XYZ Corporation WITHOUT PREJUDICE (Bayramoglu, Nihat) |
| Filing 13 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: The Court is in receipt of Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Under Seal #4 , #5 , Plaintiff's Motion to Exceed Page Limitation in Their Memorandum in Support of Plaintiff's Motion for Entry of A Temporary Restraining Order #7 , and Plaintiff's Ex Parte Motion for Entry of a Temporary Restraining Order, Including a Temporary Injunction, a Temporary Asset Restraint, Expedited Discovery and Service of Process by E-mail and/or Electronic Publication #8 . As an initial matter, the Seventh Circuit has "repeatedly voiced [its] disfavor of parties proceeding anonymously, as anonymous litigation runs contrary to the rights of the public to have open judicial proceedings and to know who is using court facilities and procedures funded by public taxes. To proceed anonymously, a party must demonstrate 'exceptional circumstances' that outweigh both the public policy in favor of identified parties and the prejudice to the opposing party that would result from anonymity." Doe v. Vill. of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 37677 (7th Cir. 2016) (citation omitted); see also Doe v. Smith, 429 F.3d 706, 710 (7th Cir. 2005) ("[T]his circuit's decisions... disfavor anonymous litigation."); Doe v. Blue Cross & Blue Shield United of Wis., 112 F.3d 869, 872 (7th Cir. 1997) ("Identifying the parties to the proceeding is an important dimension of publicness. The people have a right to know who is using their courts."). The Court cannot see how this Schedule A plaintiff meets the "exceptional circumstances" requirement as outlined by the Seventh Circuit. Even so, "[t]o permit pseudonymity/anonymity here, while many other Schedule A plaintiffs proceed under their actual names, would threaten to allow the exception of 'exceptional circumstances' to swallow the general rule barring pseudonymity." XYZ Corp. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A,2022 WL 180151, at *2 (N.D. Ill. Jan. 20, 2022). The presently sealed documents will, however, remain under provisional seal until further order to permit Plaintiff the opportunity to decide how it wishes to proceed with this case. On or before 03/27/2024, Plaintiff must either file an amended complaint that lists Plaintiff's true name or file a stipulation of dismissal. If Plaintiff files an amended complaint, Plaintiff must file a new motion for leave to file certain documents under seal, a new motion for electronic service of process, and a new Ex Parte motion for entry of a temporary restraining order. Emailed notice (axc). |
