Maldonado: The Court has reviewed Plaintiff's motion for Leave to Conduct Expedited Discovery and for Electronic Service of Process Pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(f)(3) 13.

See, e.g., Oakley, Inc. v. P'ships & Unincorporated Ass'ns Identified in Schedule "A", No. 20-CV-05049, 2021 WL 2894166, at *5 (N.D. Ill.
