SUMMONS Issued (Court Participant) as to Defendant GoStarlight

ORDER for leave to conduct expedited discovery and service of process by e-mail and/or electronic publication. Signed by the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis on 7/2/25.

MINUTE entry before the Honorable Georgia N Alexakis: Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery and electronic service of process 15 is granted. No appearance is required on 7/15/25. The Court finds that expedited discovery is warranted to 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.
