ANNUAL REMINDER: Pursuant to Local Rule 3.2 (Notification of Affiliates), any nongovernmental party, other than an individual or sole proprietorship, must file a statement identifying all its affiliates known to the party after diligent review or, if the party has identified no affiliates, then a statement reflecting that fact must be filed. An affiliate is defined as follows: any entity or individual owning, directly or indirectly (through ownership of one or more other entities), 5% or more of a party. The statement is to be electronically filed as a PDF in conjunction with entering the affiliates in CM/ECF as prompted. As a reminder to counsel, parties must supplement their statements of affiliates within thirty (30) days of any change in the information previously reported. This minute order is being issued to all counsel of record to remind counsel of their obligation to provide updated information as to additional affiliates if such updating is necessary. If counsel has any questions regarding this process, this LINK will provide additional information. Signed by the Honorable Virginia M. Kendall on 12/31/2025: Mailed notice.

2025/12/22
MINUTE entry before the Honorable Martha M. Pacold: Plaintiff's motion 17 for electronic service of process is granted. While a preferable means of service, the court is cognizant of the fact that physical service is not always possible. In this case, Plaintiff certifies that it has attempted, but has been unable, to obtain a physical address for defendant. See id.; 19. In such a circumstance, a less preferable form of service is permissible. Service via email is "reasonably calculated" to be received by defendant, and it is thus adequate in this case. Mullane v. Cent. Hanover Bank & Tr. Co., 339 U.S 306, 319 (1950). What's more, service via email is not barred under Fed. R. Civ. P. 4. Thus, plaintiff may serve process via email. Mailed notice.
