| 19 | 2026-09-10 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras: Plaintiff's motion for electronic service of process [12] is denied without prejudice to renewal. Email service is prohibited in China unless the defendants' addresses are unknown. See Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Imp. & Exp. Co., 177 F.4th 793 (7th Cir. 2026). The Court is unable to determine from the information provided whether Plaintiff's efforts to obtain and verify defendants' addresses were reasonably diligent. The declaration in support of the motion explains in general terms how investigators attempt to obtain defendant addresses, without explaining what was done in this case, for these defendants. At a minimum, any renewed motion for electronic service must set forth, for each specific defendant, each step taken and the results of each step. Additionally, Plaintiff reports that only "in some investigations" did investigators request addresses from sellers under the guise of returning products. If Plaintiff has email addresses associated with the Chinese defendants, it would be reasonable to contact those email addresses to inquire whether an exact physical address can be obtained. Plaintiff does not state it took this simple step. The Court is also not convinced Plaintiff's online research was sufficient. While Plaintiff states investigators searched Google and Baidu maps for addresses, there is no indication Plaintiff searched any business database. Plaintiff also states, for example, that if an address appears to correspond to a residence, the investigators "attempt[] to determine whether any individual associated with the seller can be connected to that address." But Plaintiff does not explain what steps were taken to make that determination, such as sending a test mailing or an on-foot investigator to the address where reasonable or calling any known phone numbers. Under the circumstances of this case, reasonably diligent efforts seem to require Plaintiff to take some additional investigative steps or at least provide more detail regarding its efforts for each specific defendant. Explaining generally how Plaintiff conducts investigations is not enough. Mailed notice |
