MINUTE entry before the Honorable Mary M. Rowland: The Court is in receipt of the Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment. [19]. "Before a court can enter a default judgment, [] it must be satisfied that it has personal jurisdiction over the defendants." Simonsen v. Bd. of Educ. of City of Chicago, No. 01 C 3081, 2002 WL 230777, at *15 (N.D. Ill. Feb. 14, 2002); e360 Insight v. The Spamhaus Project, 500 F.3d 594, 598 (7th Cir. 2007) ("Default judgments rendered without personal jurisdiction are void."). Based on the current record, the Court is not satisfied that it has personal jurisdiction here. Plaintiff is reminded that personal jurisdiction over an online retailer is not established merely because the retailer's website is available in Illinois. Liu v. Monthly, No. 25-2074, 2026 WL 681773, at *2 (7th Cir. Mar. 9, 2026). Instead, minimum contacts with Illinois are found only where an Illinois customer actually purchased a product from the online retailer and the retailer shipped the product to Illinois. Id.; see also Curry v. Revolution Labs., LLC, 949 F.3d 385, 392-93 (7th Cir. 2020). To ensure the Court that personal jurisdiction over the Defendants exists, by 4/28/26, Plaintiff shall file a personal jurisdiction supplement as a separate entry on the docket. The supplement shall include a table with the following columns: (1) No.: the number corresponding to the Defendant's position in Schedule A; (2) Name: the name of the entity sued, e.g., the online account doing the alleged infringement; (3) Item Purchased: the name of the infringing item purchased from the Defendant; (4) Purchase Price: the amount paid for the item; (5) Ship to Address: the city in Illinois that the item was shipped to; (6) Date Received: the date the item was received at the Illinois address. If Plaintiff is relying on alternative means to establish personal jurisdiction that does not fit into this table format, Plaintiff shall explain how the alternative means establishes personal jurisdiction over each Defendant in the personal jurisdiction supplement. For these reasons, Plaintiff's Motion for Default Judgment [19] is denied without prejudice to refile after Plaintiff establishes this Court's personal jurisdiction over the Defendants. Plaintiff's motion to file under seal [5] is denied as moot since the complaint has been served. All documents should be unsealed. Mailed notice. |
