MOTION by Plaintiff Zhang Zhenbiao for Expedited Discovery Renewed Motion
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff's complaint adequately establishes personal jurisdiction over the defendants. It does not appear, however, that plaintiff has sufficiently established a basis for e-mail service upon the defendants under the Seventh Circuit's decision in Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Import & Export Co., No. 25-2205 (7th Cir. May 29, 2026). In particular plaintiff does not appear to have made a showing that the named defendants' physical addresses are not known (see Hague Conv., art. 1), but instead appears to have shown only that online sellers' posted physical addresses are generally commonly fabricated, which to the Court does not appear to be the same thing. Plaintiff's motions for electronic service and expedited discovery are therefore denied, without prejudice to refiling [13] [14].
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff's motions for leave to file certain documents under seal 6 10 are granted.
