v. SERVE DEFENDANT BY

ALTERNATIVE MEANS

CASMAIN L.P., Re: ECF No. 8 Defendant. 16 INTRODUCTION The plaintiff, GSV Futures LLC — an entity formerly known as “Step GSV Future LLC” — sued the defendant, Casmain L.P., for partnership distributions and related claims.1 Because the plaintiff did not serve the defendant successfully, it asks to serve the defendant by email and WeChat.2 The court can decide the motion without oral argument under Civil Local Rule 7-1(b). The court authorizes the plaintiff to serve the summons, the complaint, and this order on the defendant by email and WeChat, because these alternative means are reasonably calculated to give notice and are not prohibited by international agreement.
