Mark Marko v. Liu Clothes Store

ORDER AUTHORIZING ELECTRONIC SERVICE OF PROCESS Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 6/17/2025. Mailed notice (gel,)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's renewed motion for electronic service [27] is granted. Electronic service of process does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with online marketplace defendants. Enter Order Authorizing Electronic Service of Process. The Court notes that Plaintiff reports that it has received the email address associated with Defendant's account (Dkt. [28] at 4), but that email address is not included in the motion, memorandum in support of the motion, or other supporting materials. Plaintiff must ensure that Defendant's email address is included on the summons submitted to the Court and in the affidavit of service. Motion hearing set for 6/18/25 [29] is stricken. A status report regarding next steps is due by 7/22/25, if other appropriate relief has not been sought by that date. The status report deadline of 6/24/25 [23] is stricken. Mailed notice (gel,)

ORDER AUTHORIZING EXPEDITED DISCOVERY Signed by the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt on 6/3/2025. Mailed notice (gel,)

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: Plaintiff's renewed ex parte motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery and electronic service of process [20] is granted in part and denied in part. The Court grants Plaintiff's request for expedited discovery as the Court finds that expedited discovery is warranted to obtain Defendant's contact information. Enter Order Authorizing Expedited Discovery. Plaintiff's request for electronic service of process pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) is denied without prejudice. Plaintiff seeks authorization to effectuate service of process by email and electronic publication but has not yet shown that it has a reliable email address at which it may reach Defendant. Any renewed motion must include these details. The motion hearing set for 6/10/25 [22] is stricken. If no other relief has been sought, Plaintiff is ordered to file a status report by 6/24/25 updating the Court on the progress of expedited discovery and proposed next steps in the case. Mailed notice (gel,)

AMENDED complaint by Mark Marko against Osfvolr, et al.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable LaShonda A. Hunt: On 5/8/25, Plaintiff filed a Schedule A to the complaint [2] under seal without first complying with Local Rule 26.2, and after publicly identifying Defendant(s) in the complaint caption [1] and on the civil cover sheet [3]. The Clerk is directed, forthwith, to unseal the document filed at [2]. Furthermore, Plaintiff is purportedly suing "OSFVOLR, et al." but the complaint itself contains no details whatsoever about these defendants. Rather, Plaintiff filed a form complaint with generic allegations about "Defendant Internet Stores" allegedly violating copyright laws. The complaint [1] is therefore stricken for failure to comply with Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 8 and 10. Plaintiff must file an amended complaint by 5/19/25. Otherwise, this case will be dismissed. Counsel is admonished to review and comply with all court procedures and applicable rules. Moreover, Plaintiff's ex parte motion for leave to conduct expedited discovery and for electronic service of process [14] is denied without prejudice to renewal if the case proceeds. The motion hearing set for 5/15/25 is stricken. Mailed notice.
