原告撤诉/结案Symmetrix Studios LLC v. The Defendants Identified On Schedule A
案件进展
65 条记录MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Defendants XIZYO, Micoden, QLTYPRI, ROSEHUI, and Lafunda's ("Moving Defendants") motion to dismiss for insufficient service of process [56] is granted. Although the Court previously authorized email service under Rule 4(f)(3), [10], the Seventh Circuit has since held that the Hague Convention forecloses service by email on defendants located in China. Kangol LLC v. Hangzhou Chuanyue Silk Import & Export Co., 177 F.4th 793, 799802 (7th Cir. 2026). And while the Hague Convention is inapplicable if a defendant's address is unknown, a plaintiff must demonstrate "reasonably diligent efforts to ascertain and verify [the] defendant's mailing address" before a court can deem an address as unknown. Id. at 799. Plaintiff does not refute Moving Defendant's argument that it failed to exercise any reasonable diligence here. As such, the Hague Convention applies and, under that convention, Plaintiff's service of process by email was impermissible. Plaintiff's action against the Moving Defendants is therefore dismissed. See Deckers Outdoor Corp. v. AKEANH6X696JN, No. 25 C 15281, 2026 WL 1847507, at *4 (N.D. Ill. June 26, 2026) (applying Kangol retroactively). Because insufficient service of process attacks a court's assertion of personal jurisdiction over a defendant, Swaim v. Moltan Co., 73 F.3d 711, 719 (7th Cir. 1996), dismissal is without prejudice. Healthcare Dev. Partners LLC v. Signet Health Corp., No. 24 CV 12343, 2025 WL 904361, at *6 n.5 (N.D. Ill. Mar. 25, 2025) ("A dismissal for lack of subject-matter or personal jurisdiction is without prejudice."). Mailed notice.

原告提交PI申请MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: Plaintiff's motion to extend TRO 17 is granted in part. TRO extended to 5/29/26. Motion by Defendant Avidor Aronsfeld for leave to appear remotely 24 is granted in part and denied in part. There are no hearings set, so there is no reason to appear. As an interested party, Mr. Aronsfeld is welcome to attend remotely. However, a corporation or an LLC must appear through counsel in courts in the United States. While Mr. Aronsfeld may appear as a spectator, he may not appear and speak at a hearing on behalf of the owner and operator of the eBay stores that he identifies in his motion. That would constitute practicing law without a license. His motion to modify the TRO 25 is denied without prejudice as he is not permitted to represent the eBay stores. Mailed notice.
