| 13 | 2026-05-28 | MOTION by Plaintiff Zhang Zhenbiao for Expedited Discovery |
| 14 | 2026-05-28 | MOTION by Plaintiff Zhang Zhenbiao for Electronic Service of Process |

| 16 | 2026-05-30 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Plaintiff's complaint adequately establishes personal jurisdiction over the defendants. It does not appear, however, that plaintiff has sufficiently established a basis for e-mail service upon the defendants under the Seventh Circuit's decision in Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Import & Export Co., No. 25-2205 (7th Cir. May 29, 2026). In particular plaintiff does not appear to have made a showing that the named defendants' physical addresses are not known (see Hague Conv., art. 1), but instead appears to have shown only that online sellers' posted physical addresses are generally commonly fabricated, which to the Court does not appear to be the same thing. Plaintiff's motions for electronic service and expedited discovery are therefore denied, without prejudice to refiling 13 14. |

Kennelly: Plaintiff filed a renewed motion to authorize electronic service as to certain defendants but did not submit a draft order at the time of filing the motion, as clearly required on Judge Kennelly's web page. The motion will be denied unless a draft order in Word format is submitted to Judge Kennelly's proposed order email address by 11:00 AM Central Time today (7/29/2026). |

Plaintiff should be prepared to advise the Court at the status hearing on how plaintiff proposes to proceed with regard to the defendants not covered by the order authorizing electronic service. |
| 25 | 2026-08-03 | MINUTE entry before the Honorable Matthew F. Kennelly: Telephonic status hearing held on 8/3/2026. Plaintiff's counsel provided an update regarding the defendants not covered by the order authorizing electronic service. A status report is to be filed on 8/28/2026.
