9 2025-06-18 SEALED DOCUMENT by Plaintiff Hexin Holding Limited Amended Schedule A related to Amended Complaint (Deng, Faye Yifei)
10 2025-06-23 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff initially filed a complaint seeking to sue 134 separate defendants in this single copyright infringement suit, see 1, 2. Once the case was reassigned to this Court, however, Plaintiff filed an amended complaint, which names just one Defendant, and thus avoids any joinder issues. Plaintiff may thus proceed on its amended complaint 9. Additionally, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for leave to file under seal 4 as to the Amended Schedule A 9 and the declaration of plaintiff and accompanying exhibits. The Court reminds counsel that all motions must be noticed for presentment. Mailed notice. (jcc,)
15 2025-08-12 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Based upon Plaintiff's submissions, the Court grants Plaintiff's motion for expedited discovery [11] and for electronic service of process [12] and strikes the 8/13/25 Notice of Motion date. Enter Order. Additionally, it appears that counsel for Plaintiff is a member of the Court's general bar, but not the trial bar; counsel must ensure strict compliance with LR 83.12. Mailed notice.
16 2025-08-12 ORDER. Signed by the Honorable John Robert Blakey on 8/12/2025. Mailed notice.
20 2025-10-14 MOTION by Plaintiff Hexin Holding Limited for default judgment as to the Defendants
23 2025-10-21 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff's amended complaint [8] remains drafted as if it still targets multiple Defendants. Given this ambiguity, the Court dismisses Plaintiff's amended complaint [8], denies without prejudice Plaintiff's motion for default and default judgment [20] and strikes the 10/22/25 Notice of Motion date. If Plaintiff wishes to proceed, it must conform its allegations to the current Schedule A. Additionally, in its current motion for default [20], [21], Plaintiff represents that personal jurisdiction exists because Defendant reached out "to do business with Illinois residents by operating their interactive e-commerce store on Amazon through which Illinois residents can purchase Infringing Products." If Plaintiff pursues an amended complaint, it must be prepared to confirm that Defendant has, in fact, shipped infringing goods to Illinois residents, and not just in connection with Plaintiff's counsel's test buy. See, e.g., Walden v. Fiore, 571 U.S. 277, 285 (2014) ("the plaintiff cannot be the only link between the defendant and the forum"); Expeditee LLC v. Entities Listed on Exhibit 1, No. 21 C 6440, 2022 WL 1556381, at *4 (N.D. Ill. May 17, 2022) ("Plaintiff claims that, as part of its preliminary investigation, it purchased infringing products from the Moving Defendants that the Moving Defendants shipped to Chicago. Such sales on their own are insufficient for the purposes of personal jurisdiction, for Plaintiff has not identified evidence of any transactions involving an allegedly counterfeit product between the Moving Defendants and Illinois customers, other than the 'test buys.'"). If Plaintiff fails to amend by 11/14/25, the Court will dismiss this case. Finally, it appears that Plaintiff's counsel is a member of the Court's general bar, but not the trial bar; counsel must ensure strict compliance with LR 83.12. Mailed notice.

28 2025-12-31 Local Rule 3.2 Annual Reminder Order
29 2026-01-06 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court denies without prejudice Plaintiff's motion for default judgment [26] because Plaintiff failed to notice the motion for presentment, as required by this Court's standing orders. Mailed notice.
33 2026-01-13 Default Judgment
37 2026-01-20 MOTION by Plaintiff Hexin Holding Limited to withdraw motion for default judgment[33]
38 2026-01-20 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court grants Plaintiff's motion to withdraw [37] and directs the Clerk to terminate the withdrawn motion for default judgment, docket entry [33], as a pending motion. The 1/21/26 motion hearing date is stricken. Mailed notice.
