Malibu Media, LLC v. Doe

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK ──────────────────────────────────── MALIBU MEDIA, LLC, Plaintiff, 19cv7189 (JGK) - against - ORDER YI-TING CHEN, Defendant. ──────────────────────────────────── JOHN G. KOELTL, District Judge: The time to file a Rule 26(f) report is extended to July 17, 2020. The initial conference is adjourned to July 24, 2020 at 10:00 AM. The request to permit alternative service of the summons and amended complaint is denied without prejudice. Three efforts to serve by the process server all within a single ten- day period are insufficient at this time to demonstrate that personal service is impracticable. See Silverman v. Sito Marketing LLC, No. 14-cv-3932, 2015 WL 13651281, at *5 (E.D.N.Y. Mar. 9, 2015) (finding that impracticability to effect service by traditional methods had not been established because, among other reasons, the process server had made “limited efforts”).

SO ORDERED.

Dated: New York, New York May 18, 2020 __ /s/ John G. Koeltl John G. Koeltl United States District Judge
