Mailed notice.
52 2024-12-17 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Initial status hearing held as to defendants Prettyyy, BESTOMZ, sinuoxiang, and Lmposing. Counsel for those defendants, who are represented by counsel Longhao Wang ("the Wang Defendants"), did not appear and did not notify the Court that they would not appear, would have difficulty appearing, or needed to request a postponement. The Court kindly reminds defense counsel that counsel's appearance at court-ordered hearings is mandatory, that "Schedule A" infringement cases are federal civil lawsuits and are as important as any other case, and that failing to appear at court-ordered proceedings without notice is discourteous, wasteful, and unprofessional. All court hearings are important, but today's hearing in this matter was particularly important. By Court order (doc. # 51), the Court had notified plaintiff and the Wang Defendants that the Court wished to discuss the planning and scheduling of jurisdictional discovery in the wake of the district court's referral (doc. # 50) of such discovery to the magistrate judge during the pendency of a motion to dismiss for want of jurisdiction (doc. # 45) a motion filed by the very same Wang Defendants who failed to appear today. Plaintiff makes an oral motion for entry of a jurisdictional discovery schedule. In view of the Court's prior notice to the Wang Defendants (doc. # 51) that jurisdictional discovery scheduling (which includes the when and where of deposition scheduling) would be discussed, and in view of the Wang Defendants' failure to appear, the Court grants the motion as unopposed. The Court enters the jurisdictional discovery schedule as follows: The Wang Defendants' responses to written discovery are due by 1/13/25. Deadline for the completion of jurisdictional written discovery is 2/11/25. All jurisdictional discovery (including oral depositions) set to close on 3/7/25. The parties are ordered to begin discussing and planning, by their counsel, the scheduling of jurisdictional discovery depositions so that such depositions and/or motion practice concerning them are completed in advance of the 3/7/25 cutoff. A further status hearing on discovery progress and settlement status is set for 9 a.m. on 1/14/25 in Courtroom 1342, in person at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse. Mailed notice.
53 2024-12-20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable Gabriel A. Fuentes: Defense counsel for the Wang Defendants may appear telephonically for the 1/14/25 hearing.
