| 09/11/24 | PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION ORDER Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 9/11/2024.(ca, ) (Entered: 09/11/2024) | |
| 09/09/24 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: The Court denies Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction [25] as moot. The Court previously assigned to this proceeding granted Plaintiff's motion for entry of a preliminary injunction at [80] . Enter preliminary injunction order. By 10/7/24, plaintiff should file any motion for entry and for default judgment and notice it up for presentment, pursuant to this Court's standing orders. (ca, ) (Entered: 09/09/2024) | |
| 09/09/24 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Franklin U. Valderrama: This case has been reassigned to this Court [13] . Plaintiff has filed this case using a pseudonym. As an initial matter, in order to proceed under a pseudonym, a party should file a motion to do so, rather than simply state it is doing so via a footnote in the complaint. Additionally, Plaintiff has filed a number of documents under seal but has not filed a motion for leave to file under seal as required under Local Rule 26.2(c). As to proceeding via pseudonym, 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."). Absent a motion, 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 Court therefore instructs Plaintiff, by 9/13/2024 to: either file a motion for leave to proceed via pseudonym, bearing in mind the strict standard above, or file an file an amended complaint that lists Plaintiff's true name. Plaintiff must also file a motion for leave to file under seal by 9/13/2024 in order to maintain under seal the documents filed under seal. Mailed notice. (jcm) (Entered: 09/09/2024) | |
