| 1 | 2026-06-22 | COMPLAINT filed by Hanmin Lin; Filing fee $ 405, receipt number AILNDC-25275848. |
| 9 | 2026-06-30 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras: Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Under Seal [4] and Motion for Leave to Conduct Expedited Discovery [6] are granted. The presentment hearing noticed for 6/30/2026 is stricken with no appearance necessary. A status report on the progress of expedited discovery is due by 7/30/2026. The status report shall also address whether the Court has personal jurisdiction over named Defendants under the standard set forth in Liu v. Monthly, 170 F.4th 1090 (7th Cir. 2026). Mere evidence of a willingness to ship to Illinois customers is insufficient to establish personal jurisdiction. Plaintiff is reminded that service by email is proper only if the Hague Convention does not apply because Defendants' physical addresses remain unknown despite reasonably diligent efforts to ascertain them. Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Imp. & Exp. Co., 2026 WL 1502198, at *6 (7th Cir. 2026). If it will be Plaintiff's position that the Hague Convention does not apply, Plaintiff must support that position with legal authority and evidence of reasonable diligence for each defendant.
