- ilnd;;1:20-cv-02611_de26 RegisterActionDescriptionText "MINUTE entry before the Honorable John F. Kness: Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 9 is granted in part and denied in part. Plaintiff's submissions establish that, were Defendants to learn of these proceedings before the execution of Plaintiff's requested preliminary injunctive relief, there is a significant risk that Defendants could destroy relevant documentary evidence and hide or transfer assets beyond the reach of the Court. Conversely, there are no exceptional circumstances that would justify allowing plaintiff to conceal its own identity: Plaintiff's ex parte motion for preliminary injunctive relief will be adjudicated promptly, and the identity of the defendant entities will be placed under seal during the pendency of the ex parte proceedings. Given these protections for Plaintiff's legitimate interests, the countervailing strong public interest in knowing who is seeking recourse in the federal courts compels the Court to deny Plaintiff's request to conceal its own identity, even initially. As the Seventh Circuit has explained, "We have repeatedly voiced our 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. Village of Deerfield, 819 F.3d 372, 376-77 (7th Cir. 2016). Accordingly, Plaintiff must file an amended complaint disclosing its name and asserted trademark. Subject to unsealing at an appropriate time, Plaintiff may for now file its Schedule A, ex parte motions, and other associated filings under seal. Mailed notice (ef, ) (Entered: 05/06/2020)" @default.
