VANCUU SUPER INC. v. The Defendants Identified on Schedule "A"

ORDER: Five Defendants have filed motions for compensation for wrongful restraint via the security bond posted in connection with the Temporary Restraining Order dated 10/17/2025 15. Each of the five Defendants has now made the requested supplemental submission pursuant to this Court's prior order dated 4/2/2026 103. Defendant crystalsrxboutique's motion for an extension of time to file its supplement 110 is granted; its supplemental submission 109 is accepted as timely filed. Plaintiff has replied to three of five supplements, and the deadline for further replies has passed. The Court does not require anything further from the parties on this issue at this time. The Court therefore takes Defendants' motions 80, 84, 86, 87, 94 under advisement as fully briefed, with a written ruling to follow. The Court also acknowledges Plaintiff's motion for entry of default and judgment 101, which has been taken under advisement for ruling. Since the motion was filed, the Seventh Circuit has clarified in Liu v. Monthly, 170 F.4th 1090 (7th Cir. 2026), that internet screenshots of a checkout page merely showing that it is possible to order the defendants' products and have them shipped to Illinois, not that such sales took place, are insufficient to support a finding of personal jurisdiction. By 5/22/2026, Plaintiff shall make a supplemental submission in support of its motion for default judgment stating its position on whether default judgment remains appropriate as to all of the defaulted defendants in light of the Liu decision. Telephonic status hearing set for 5/13/2026 is stricken and reset for 6/23/2026 at 8:45 AM. The call-in number is (650) 479-3207 and the access code is 1808131170. To ensure public access to court proceedings, members of the public and media may call in to listen to telephonic hearings.

Violation of these prohibitions may result in sanctions, including removal of court-issued media credentials, restricted entry to future hearings, denial of entry to future hearings, or any other sanctions deemed necessary by the Court.

No. 148). All of the Defendants that appeared for the hearing appear to be based in the United States and operate webstores on the Esty platform.

The Court sets a telephonic show cause hearing for 11/21/2025 at 8:45 AM.
