MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: The Court reviewed Plaintiff's complaint (Dckt No. 1) and Plaintiff's Schedule A, which it filed under seal (Dckt. No. 2). Plaintiff filed the Schedule A under seal, but did not submit a motion to seal as required by the Local Rules. See N.D. Ill. L.R. 25.2(c)(3) ("The party seeking to file a document under seal must file a motion with the court. The sealing motion must be filed before or simultaneously with the provisional filing of the document under seal."). In any case, the Court would not permit a sealed Schedule A for the reasons stated by the Court in Zorro Productions, Inc. v. The Individuals, Corporations, Limited Liability Companies, Partnerships, and Unincorporated Associations Identified on Schedule A (23-cv-5761). So, Plaintiff must refile the Schedule A (Dckt. No. 2) as an unsealed exhibit within two days. If Plaintiff needs third-party discovery and/or alternative service of process, Plaintiff must move within one week of the entry of this order and must submit a Word version of a proposed discovery order to the Court's proposed order inbox, Proposed_Order_Seeger@ilnd.uscourts.gov. A failure to comply will lead to appropriate relief, including possible dismissal. Mailed notice

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Steven C. Seeger: An initial status report is due by September 22, 2025. 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.
