Simple Design Ltd. v. Candymobi Information Technology Co.
Trial Court Opinion
UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA
SIMPLE DESIGN LTD., Case No. 19-cv-05501-VC Plaintiff,
ORDER GRANTING MOTION FOR
Vv. ALTERNATIVE SERVICE CANDYMOBI INFORMATION Re: Dkt. No. 11 TECHNOLOGY CO., et al., Defendants.
Simple Design’s ex parte motion for service by email is granted pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(f)(3). See Rio Properties, Inc. vy. Rio International Interlink, 284 F.3d 1007, 1015 (9th Cir. 2002). Service by email here is notice reasonably calculated to provide actual notice to the defendants, and it will not violate any international agreement because the Hague Convention does not apply where the address of the defendants is not known. See Convention on the Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents, Article 1, Nov. 15, 1965, 20 U.S.T. 361, 1969 WL 97765.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
