01/17/2025 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: On review of the complaint and the memorandum in support of Plaintiff's motion for a temporary restraining order, the Court raises the propriety of joinder of the 190 Defendants. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 20(a)(2) governs permissive joinder of defendants. It permits defendants to be joined in a single action if two conditions are met: (1) "any right to relief is asserted against them jointly, severally, or in the alternative with respect to or arising out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions"; and (2) "any question of law or fact common to all defendants will arise in the action." Fed. R. Civ. P 20(a)(2); see UWM Student Ass'n v. Lovell, 888 F.3d 854, 863 (7th Cir. 2018). As other courts within this District have held, "it is appropriate for federal courts to raise improper joinder on their own, especially when the sheer number of defendants waves a joinder red flag and ups the chances that the plaintiff should be paying separate filing fees for separate cases. The need for sua sponte evaluation also intensifies when it would take enormous time and effort to check the evidencesuch as screenshots of dozens and dozens of defendants' online storesamassed into a single case absent actual connections between the defendants." Estee Lauder Cosms. Ltd. v. Partnerships & Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 334 F.R.D. 182, 186 (N.D. Ill. 2020) (citing George v. Smith, 507 F.3d 605, 607 (7th Cir. 2007)); see also, e.g., Andrew Blair Bailie v. Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule "A," 24-cv-02150 Dkt. 28 (Apr. 24, 2024)). Here, Plaintiff's allegations purporting to establish joinder are merely conclusory. For example, Plaintiff alleges that "[e]-commerce stores operating under the Seller Aliases share identifiers, such as design elements and similarities of the Unauthorized Products offered for sale, establishing that a logical relationship exists between them, and that Defendants' counterfeiting operation arises out of the same transaction, occurrence, or series of transactions or occurrences." R. [1], para. 3. Similar to another court in this District, this Court's "experience has shown that, while some individual defendants may operate several online stores, and while some individual defendants may coordinate with other defendants before or after the filing of the infringement action, rarely, if ever, have all defendants named in a Schedule A case worked together." Toyota Motor Sales, U.S.A., Inc. v. Partnerships and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A, 24-cv-09401 Dkt. 23 (Oct. 18, 2024). Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 11(b)(3) requires that, "factual contentions have evidentiary support or, if specifically so identified, will likely have evidentiary support after a reasonable opportunity for further investigation or discovery." Accordingly, the Court directs Plaintiff to file, on or before 01/24/25, a supplemental memorandum addressing the propriety of joinder, including, pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(c)((3), showing cause why the allegation that "defendants are working in active concert" does not violate Rule 11(b)(3). Instead of the supplemental memorandum, by the same deadline, Plaintiff may file an amended complaint with (a) one defendant or (b) a subset of the defendants along with a memorandum explaining why joinder of those defendants is proper. Mailed notice.
译文:尊敬的富兰克林·U·瓦尔德拉马面前的会议记录:在审查起诉书和支持原告提出的临时限制令动议的备忘录后,法院提出了190名被告合并的适当性。《联邦民事诉讼规则》第20(A)(2)条规定允许被告合并。它允许被告在满足两个条件的情况下加入单一诉讼:(1)“就同一交易、事件或一系列交易或由同一交易、事件或系列交易而对他们共同、各别或以其他方式主张任何济助权利”;以及(2)“在诉讼中将出现所有被告共同的任何法律问题或事实”。美联储。R.Civ.20(A)(2)页;参见《密歇根大学学生协会诉洛维尔》[《联邦判例汇编》第3集第888卷第854、863页(第七巡回法庭)]一案。2018年)。正如该地区的其他法院所认为的那样,“联邦法院自行提出不正当合并是适当的,特别是当大量被告挥舞着合并红旗,增加了原告应该为单独的案件支付单独起诉费的可能性的时候。当需要花费大量的时间和精力来检查证据时,诉讼自发评估的必要性也加剧了,比如几十个和几十个被告的在线商店的截图被聚集到一个案件中,而被告之间没有实际的联系。”雅诗兰黛·科斯姆斯。有限公司诉合伙企业及非法人团体,载于附表A《联邦判例汇编》第334卷第182、186页(N.D.IL.(引用《乔治诉史密斯》案,载于《联邦判例汇编》第三辑,第507卷,第605,607页(第七巡回法庭2007年));另见,例如,安德鲁·布莱尔·贝利诉附表“A”所列合伙企业和非法人团体案,24-cv-02150 dkt。28(2024年4月24日))。在这里,原告声称要确立共同诉讼的指控仅仅是结论。例如,原告声称“在卖方别名下运营的[电子商务]商店共享标识符,如提供销售的未经授权产品的设计元素和相似性,从而确定它们之间存在逻辑关系,被告的假冒操作源于相同的交易、事件或一系列交易或事件。”R.[1],第3段.与这一地区的另一家法院类似,本法院的“经验表明,虽然一些单独的被告可能经营几家网上商店,虽然一些单独的被告可能在提起侵权诉讼之前或之后与其他被告协调,但在附表A案件中被点名的所有被告很少--如果有的话--一起工作。”美国丰田汽车销售公司诉附表A所列的合伙企业和非法人团体,24-cv-09401 dkt.23(2024年10月18日)。联邦民事诉讼程序规则11(B)(3)要求,“事实争辩有证据支持,或者,如果明确确定,在有合理的机会进一步调查或发现之后,很可能会有证据支持。”因此,法院指示原告在1月24日或之前提交一份关于合并的适当性的补充备忘录,包括根据FED的规定。R.Civ.P.11(C)((3)),说明“被告正在积极协调工作”的指控不违反规则11(B)(3)的理由。在同一最后期限前,原告可以向(A)一名被告或(B)部分被告提出经修订的申诉,并附上一份备忘录,解释为何这些被告合并是适当的,而不是补充备忘录。邮寄的通知。
