May 5, 2025

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: The Court grants plaintiff's motions for leave to conduct expedited discovery 18 and for electronic service of process 19. No appearance is required on 5/8/25. The Court finds that expedited discovery is warranted to better identify defendants. The Court also finds that electronic service does not violate any treaty and is consistent with due process because it is an effective way to communicate with the online marketplace defendants. The Court decides these issues, however, without the benefit of adversarial presentation. If any defendant were to appear and object, the Court will take a fresh look at the issues of electronic service and expedited discovery as well as any issues related to personal jurisdiction. Enter Order, as modified by the Court. The Court vacates the initial status hearing set for 5/12/25 and the 5/5/25 deadline for submitting a joint initial status report 17. A status report is now due on 6/5/25 and should be filed by plaintiff even if no defendant has entered an appearance by that date. Mailed notice
