| 44 | 2026-07-27 | SUPPLEMENT to motion for preliminary injunction[35] |
| 45 | 2026-07-30 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable John J. Tharp, Jr: Upon review of the plaintiff's supplemental brief [44], the Court finds that the Hague Convention does not apply to the defendant. The plaintiff made "reasonably diligent efforts to ascertain and verify [the] defendant's mailing address," and was unable to do so. Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Import & Export Co., 177 F.4th 793, 799 (7th Cir. 2026) (quoting NBA Props., Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A", 549 F. Supp. 3d 790, 796 (N.D. Ill. 2021)). Therefore, on the grounds set forth in the motions, plaintiff's motions for entry of a preliminary injunction [35] and for electronic service of process [40] are granted. Enter preliminary injunction order and electronic service of process order. The preliminary injunction directs, among other things, that Schedule A be unsealed. Plaintiff is ordered to enter in CM/ECF no later than 7/31/2026 each defendant named in the original Schedule A as a party in this case (where a defendant has been dismissed, the CM/ECF entry should reflect that status). Failure to timely comply with this requirement may result in vacating the preliminary injunction.
