| Dec 14, 2021 | 103 | order on motion to compel (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: On 12/13/2021, the parties filed a jointly-executed stipulation of dismissal [102]. Accordingly, the case, including all claims and counterclaims, is dismissed with prejudice based on the terms of the parties' stipulation and by operation of Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Nelson v. Napolitano, 657 F.3d 586, 587 (7th Cir. 2011) (Rule 41(a)(1)(A) notice of dismissal "is self-executing and effective without further action from the court").

| Dec 15, 2020 | 76 | order on motion for miscellaneous relief (1) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Before the Court is the parties' joint motion [75] to "vacate" the discovery completion deadline. This motion, which was filed two days before the close of fact discovery on 12/12/20 (see Dkt. 56), is more accurately described as a motion for a five-month extension of the discovery deadline. In support of their motion, the parties refer variously to the addition of a new defendant, which is apparently a corporate affiliate or parent of the original defendant, as well as the conclusory and unsupported statement that the parties have "diligently pursued discovery." Also cited is the "current pandemic," which notably was also a factor at the time the governing scheduling order was adopted, with full input from the parties, in July 2020. No details are provided, however, as to why oral discovery has apparently not even begun, nor is there any explanation as to why the addition of a corporate-affiliate defendant should serve as the basis for a five-month extension of discovery in this over one-year-old case. Rule 16(b)(4) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires a showing of "good cause" before a governing schedule can be modified. Based at least on the content of the parties' joint motion, that standard has not been met. Accordingly, the joint motion is denied, and fact discovery is now closed. If the parties wish to seek leave to conduct additional fact discovery, they will need to file a motion to reopen discovery and will need to support any such request with detailed facts showing good cause to modify the schedule governing this case.

The parties are to advise chambers as soon as possible if their contact information changes before the conference. Final settlement positions are due by 8/26/20. Failure to comply with the provisions of the Court's Standing Order may result in the unilateral cancellation of the settlement conference by the Court. THE FACT THAT A SETTLEMENT CONFERENCE HAS BEEN SCHEDULED DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE PARTIES SHOULD STOP ENGAGING IN SETTLEMENT DISCUSSIONS AMONG THEMSELVES. The Court finds that too often the parties put settlement talks on hold until the settlement conference with the Magistrate Judge. The Court expects that many cases can be resolved among the parties without the need for court-supervised mediation. If your informal discussions are unsuccessful, the Court will conduct the conference but will expect the parties to apprise her of the status of their ongoing settlement discussions. Because of the volume of settlement conferences conducted by Judge Valdez, once a settlement conference date has been agreed upon, no continuance will be granted without a motion showing extreme hardship.

| Jun 4, 2020 | 44 | order on motion for protective order (2) Docket Text: MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Before the Court is the parties' joint motion [43] for entry of a protective order. This action concerns alleged trademark infringement under the Federal Trademark Act, but the parties have proposed the form protective order in Appendix B to the Local Patent Rules without explaining why the provisions of that form order are superior to Form LR26.2. Even if the "Appendix B" form protective order was more appropriate here, Rule 1.4 of the Local Patent Rules states that "any party may move the Court to modify the Appendix B protective order for good cause." Because the parties' joint motion states that their "proposed Protective Order is based on and revised from the form protective order," it appears that the parties seek modifications to the Appendix B protective order. But the motion does not include as an attachment a redlined or comparison version showing the proposed changes, nor have the parties explained in their motion what good cause might exist for the proposed modifications. For all of these reasons, the motion for entry of a protective order is denied without prejudice. If the parties still seek a protective order, they have leave to file a properly-supported motion that explains the need for a protective order, provides support for the specific provisions and changes proposed, and that is accompanied by the submission of a proposed order (in MS Word format) by email to the Court. A telephonic status hearing is set for June 30, 2020 at 9:45 AM. At the hearing, the parties should be prepared to discuss the schedule that will govern the remainder of this litigation.
