| Filing 30 SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff XYZ Corporation of Ann Marie Sullivan Establishing Personal Jurisdiction (Attachments: #1 Exhibit 1 to the Declaration of Ann Marie Sullivan)(Mariane, John) |
| Filing 29 SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff XYZ Corporation Exhibit 2 to the Declaration in Support of Plaintiff's Motion for Temporary Restraining Order [28-2] (Attachments: #1 Exhibit 2-Part 2, #2 Exhibit 2-Part 3, #3 Exhibit 2-Part 4, #4 Exhibit 2-Part 5, #5 Exhibit 2-Part 6)(Mariane, John) |
| Filing 28 SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff XYZ Corporation Memorandum in Support of Motion for Temporary Restraining Order #27 (Attachments: #1 Declaration of Alison K. Carter, #2 Declaration in Support of Plaintiff's Motion, #3 Exhibit 1 to the Declaration in Support of Plaintiff's Motion)(Mariane, John) |
| Filing 27 SEALED MOTION by Plaintiff XYZ Corporation for Temporary Restraining Order (Mariane, John) |
| Filing 26 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court has reviewed plaintiff's response (dkt. 25) and vacates the show cause order entered on 4/17/2025. The telephonic hearing set for 4/30/2025 is vacated and reset to 5/12/2025 at 8:55 AM, using call-in number 650-479-3207, access code 2305-915-8729. (mk) |
| Filing 25 RESPONSE to Order to Show Cause (Carter, Alison) |
| Filing 24 SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff XYZ Corporation Second Amended Complaint (Attachments: #1 Exhibit 1, #2 Exhibit 2 - Second Amended Schedule A)(Carter, Alison) |
| Filing 23 Second AMENDED complaint by XYZ Corporation against The Partnerships Identified on Schedule A (Redacted) (Carter, Alison) |
| Filing 22 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: In entering its 4/17/2025 minute entry (dkt. 21) the Court overlooked the fact that plaintiff had, in fact, filed an amended complaint naming fewer defendants than the 735 originally named. The Court apologizes for its error. However, upon examination, the amended "Schedule A" (list of defendants) filed by plaintiff on 3/21/2025 lists 250 defendants (dkt. 10-2). The Court's 4/17/2025 order limited plaintiff to "no more than 150 defendants." The amended complaint still does not comply with the order. So the remaining terms of the Court's 4/17/2025 order (requiring plaintiff to show cause and setting a telephonic hearing date) remain in effect. (mk) |
| Filing 21 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: On 4/9/2025, the Court granted plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal and to temporarily proceed under a pseudonym but denied plaintiff's motion for a TRO and for electronic service without prejudice because it concluded that plaintiff could not appropriately joint 735 defendants in a single complaint. The Court said it would entertain renewed motions for a TRO and for electronic service if plaintiff filed an amended complaint including no more than 150 defendants and dropping the others. Since then plaintiff has taken no action. It is not clear why. In order to get matters off the dime, the Court orders plaintiff to show cause why the Court should not now require plaintiff to proceed under its own name. Plaintiff is directed to respond in writing by no later than 4/23/2025. A telephonic hearing is set for 4/30/2025 at 9:05 AM, using call-in number 650-479-3207. The Court will vacate the show cause order and the hearing if plaintiff files an amended complaint naming no more than 150 defendants by 4/23/2025. (mk) |
| Filing 20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: The Court grants plaintiff's motion to file under seal and grants its motion to temporarily proceed under a pseudonym, but under this case number only #11 . Plaintiff's motion for electronic service and its motion for an ex parte temporary restraining order #14 #16 are both denied without prejudice. Plaintiff is attempting to sue 735 defendants in a single case. That stretches joinder under Rule 20 beyond the breaking point in this Court's view, and it also imposes an undue burden on the Court. The Court will entertain renewed motions for a TRO and for electronic service on an amended complaint that includes no more than 150 defendants and drops the others. If the others are pursued, they must be in separate cases, and the Court wishes to make it clear that it would not regard those separate cases as refilings of a dismissed case under LR 40.3(b) (because this case is not being dismissed) or as related cases to this one under LR 40.4 (because all of the newly filed cases are not reasonably susceptible of disposition in a single proceeding).
