16 2025-02-04 Presentment for 14 Exparte motion and NOTICE of Motion by Keith A. Vogt for presentment of before Honorable John Robert Blakey on 2/12/2025 at 11:00 AM.
17 2025-02-10 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: Plaintiff filed an initial complaint [1], seeking to join 97 Defendants in this single copyright infringement lawsuit, [2]. Once the case was assigned to this Court, Plaintiff filed an amended Schedule A [13] naming just one Defendant, presumably to avoid issues proving that joinder remains appropriate. But the initial complaint still speaks in terms of "Defendants" and Plaintiff must file an amended complaint to proceed. The Court dismisses the initial complaint [1] without prejudice and grants Plaintiff leave to file, by 2/14/25, an amended complaint that conforms to the single defendant nature of the suit. Once Plaintiff has conformed the pleadings to the attachments, it may renew its motions concerning service of process and expedited discovery; for now, the motion [14] is denied without prejudice and the 2/12/25 Notice of Motion date is stricken. Mailed notice.

27 2025-07-11 MOTION by Plaintiff Abraham Hunter for default judgment as to the Defendants Identified in Amended Schedule A
30 2025-07-15 MINUTE entry before the Honorable John Robert Blakey: The Court denies without prejudice Plaintiff's motion for default judgment 27 and strikes the 7/16/25 Notice of Motion date. Plaintiff initiated this case on 2/3/25, filed its amended complaint on 2/12/25. Yet it appears Plaintiff did not serve Defendant until 6/17/25. Although Defendant remains located in a foreign country, Plaintiff effected service electronically, and thus reasonably may be expected to serve Defendant within the limits of Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). As a result, before this Court will consider any motion for default, Plaintiff must show good cause for failing to serve Defendant within that timeframe. Mailed notice. (jn,)
