| 10/16/2024 | Defendants | Defendants’ Answer to Second Amended Complaint |
| 9/17/2024 | Court | Docket Text: SCHEDULING ORDER: The Court is in receipt of [82] Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint. As the Court previously noted (see Doc. 81), Plaintiffs’ Second Amendment Complaint simply removes a named Plaintiff (Debra Clark) and eliminates claims previously dismissed by the Court. (See Docs. 75, 79). Therefore, Defendants are DIRECTED to answer or otherwise respond to [82] Plaintiffs’ Second Amended Complaint no later than October 16, 2024. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 9/17/2024. (trf) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. |
| 9/16/2024 | Plaintiffs | Second Amended Complaint |
| 9/16/2024 | Court | Docket Text: ORDER: Plaintiffs’ [80] Motion for Leave to File is GRANTED. The Court determines that there is no prejudice to the Government because Plaintiffs’ proposed second amendment complaint removes a plaintiff previously dismissed by the Court (see Doc. 79) and it removes Fourteenth Amendment due process claims previously dismissed by the Court (see Doc. 75). Plaintiffs shall file their second amended complaint INSTANTER. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 9/14/2024. (trf) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. |
| 9/13/2024 | Plaintiffs | Unopposed Motion to File Second Amended Complaint |
| 8/27/2024 | Court | Docket Text: ORDER: Before the Court is [78] Stipulation to Voluntarily Dismiss Claims of Plaintiff Debra Clark Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 41(a)(1)(A)(ii). A plain reading of Federal Rule 41(a)(1)(A)(ii) suggests that dismissal under this Rule should be used only to dismiss an entire action (rather than a particular claim against a particular defendant). See Taylor v. Brown, 787 F.3d 851, 857 (7th Cir. 2015) (stating that Rule 41(a) is “limited to dismissal of an entire action” and Rule 15(a) is the proper vehicle for “adding or dropping parties and claims”). While the Court acknowledges the plain reading of the Rule, it finds that dismissing these particular claims, rather than ordering amendment of the operative complaint, is in the interest of judicial economy. Under these circumstances, the Court finds that dismissal pursuant to Rule 41(a)(2) is appropriate. See Quad/Graphics, Inc. v. Fass, 724 F.2d 1230, 1233 (7th Cir. 1983) (“In the context of a partial settlement, Rule 41(a)(2) is usually the mechanism by which the settling defendants are eliminated from the case.”) Plaintiff Debra Clark’s claims against Defendants Brendan F. Kelly, Jay Robert Pritzker, and Kwame Raoul are hereby DISMISSED with prejudice with each side to bear their own costs. The Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter judgment accordingly at the close of this case. Signed by Judge Stephen P. McGlynn on 8/27/2024. (trf) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. |
