Complaint

Exhibit 1

(Docket Sheet) (kss)

ORDER DENYING 55 Motion for Alternative Service without prejudice, and HEREBY HOLDING IN ABEYANCE all other pending motions (ECF [2,] 3, and 7) until service is made or, by renewed motion for alternative service, after Hague Service is attempted and fails. See Smart Study Co., Ltd v. Shenzhenshixindajixieyouxiangongsi, 164 F.4th 164, 17073 (2d Cir. 2025) (holding that Hague Service Convention prohibits service by email on defendants located in mainland China with known physical addresses, and that neither Rule 4(f)(2) nor Rule 4(f)(3) authorizes service by means that the Convention does not permit). The Clerk of Court is directed to ADMINISTRATIVELY CLOSE this case; administrative closure is not a dismissal, and upon the filing of proof of service or renewed motion for alternative service, Plaintiff may move to reopen and the Court will restore the pending motions to the docket. Signed by Judge J. Nicholas Ranjan on 8/18/2026. Text-only entry; no PDF document will issue. This text-only entry constitutes the Order of the Court or Notice on the matter.
