The operative complaint named two defendants: Latin America for Less, LLC and
individual Bernard Schleien. Mr. Schleien allegedly resided in Peru (Compl. ¶ 11).
Defendant Latin America for Less then filed a motion to dismiss, which was held in
abeyance so that the parties could take discovery on whether there was personal jurisdiction.
On January 7, plaintiff filed a notice stating it voluntarily dismissed without prejudice all

20

claims against defendant Latin America for Less under Rule 41 (Dkt. No. 50). Accordingly,

21

docket number 9 is hereby TERMINATED. The January 29 motion hearing is hereby VACATED.

22

For now, the initial case management conference scheduled for January 29 remains on

23

calendar. By JANUARY 15 AT NOON, plaintiff shall please (1) show cause why this action should

24

not be dismissed and (2) brief the service requirements for an individual residing in Peru. Please

25

also append a declaration stating in detail any service efforts with regards to Mr. Schleien and all

26

pertinent proofs of service and/or letters rogatory.
