| 39 | 2026-08-20 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras: Per Plaintiff's Notice of Voluntary Dismissal 41, all claims in this action against Defendant Topbout Art are dismissed without prejudice. Mailed notice |
| 40 | 2026-08-24 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Charles P. Kocoras: Plaintiff's motion for electronic service 34 is denied without prejudice. The declarations filed in support of Plaintiff's motion are insufficient to establish reasonable diligence. Where a plaintiff's investigation yields an identifiable physical location, reasonable diligence requires the plaintiff to pursue that lead through additional investigative steps-such as test mailings to the address by an established courier, follow-up with the courier regarding any failed deliveries, or an in-person visit by an investigator-before deeming the address unknown. See Su v. HHUNSHA, No. 26 C 4878, Dkt. 25 (N.D. Ill. June 22, 2026) (Alonso,); accord Nos. 26 C 6033 (N.D. Ill. June 15, 2026) (Alexakis) & 26 C 6096 (N.D. Ill. June 17, 2026) (Jenkins) (minute entries) (finding reasonable diligence where counsel's sworn declaration detailed Baidu searches, a Qichacha search under the defendant's actual business name, multiple test mailings by an established courier, and personal follow-up with the courier). Database searches alone, without exhaustion of the addresses actually in Plaintiff's possession, are not a substitute for reasonable diligence. See Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. A AO, 2026 WL 1802901 (N.D. Ill. 2026); NBA Props., Inc. v. HANWJH, 549 F. Supp. 3d 790, 796 (N.D. Ill. 2021). Moreover, Plaintiff acknowledges that it has the email addresses associated with the Chinese defendants yet says nothing of whether it has contacted those email addresses to inquire whether an exact physical address can be obtained. Plaintiff may file a renewed motion for electronic service of process supported by sworn declarations detailing the specific, diligent efforts taken as to each Defendant-and the outcome of those efforts. While the Court understands that Plaintiff also seeks email service on certain Defendants who reside in countries that have not objected to Article 10(a) of Hague Convention, for judicial economy, the Court will reserve ruling on those Defendants until after it receives Plaintiff's refiled motion. A status report is due on 9/23/2026. Mailed notice |
