| 10 | 2026-08-28 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Sunil R. Harjani:The Court has reviewed plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process [7] and accompanying declarations. If the Hague Service Convention applies, then service by email is improper because the Convention prohibits service by email in China. Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Imp. & Exp. Co. 177 F.4th 793, 801 (7th Cir. 2026). However, the Hague Service Convention does not apply if a defendant's address is not known. "District courts handling Schedule A cases typically require plaintiffs to make 'reasonably diligent efforts to ascertain and verify [the] defendant's mailing address' before deeming the defendant's address unknown." Id. at 799 (quoting NBA Props., Inc. v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A", 549 F. Supp. 3d 790, 796 (N.D. Ill. 2021)). Courts only consider efforts taken by a plaintiff before seeking leave for electronic service, and not efforts taken after a court order inquiring about the motion. See Erchonia Corp. LLC v. P'ships and Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified on Schedule A, 2026 WL 2354633, at *3 (N.D. Ill. Aug. 6, 2026); Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. A AO, 2026 WL 1802901, at *5 (N.D. Ill. June 23, 2026). Plaintiff's submissions do not reflect a reasonably diligent effort to ascertain and verify the defendant's address. Instead, the declaration submitted states that counsel searched for defendant's address on Google Maps and Baidu Maps and found negative or ambiguous results. Accordingly, plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process [7] and motion for temporary restraining order and expedited discovery [6] are denied without prejudice. Plaintiff's motion to seal [8] is granted. A status report is due on 9/11/2026.Mailed notice |
