18. #102026-06-16

    MINUTE entry before the Honorable Thomas M. Durkin: The motion for expedited discovery is 8 granted. The motion for electronic service of process is 9 denied. Plaintiff claims the mailing addresses posted on Defendants' Amazon listings or storefronts are "almost certainly fabricated." R. 9-1 at 2. Plaintiff essentially assumes the unreliability of the addresses because Defendants are foreign entities. There is no indication in counsel's declaration or otherwise that Plaintiff tried to verify Defendants' publicly available addresses in any way. This is insufficient to support a finding that the addresses are unknown. Further, Plaintiff's argument that e-mail service is not prohibited by the Hague Convention is foreclosed by clear binding precedent. See Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Imp. & Exp. Co., No. 25-2205, 2026 WL 1502198 (7th Cir. May 29, 2026). Therefore, the motion is denied. Plaintiff is to submit a revised proposed order for expedited discovery to the Court's proposed order inbox. Mailed notice. (ecw, ) (Entered: 06/16/2026)
