This matter is before the Court sua sponte. On October 13, 2022, the Court ordered Plaintiff Fang Cong to serve the summons and complaint on Defendant Xue Zhao through China's Central Authority. See Dkt. No. 15. The Court also permitted Plaintiff to file a new motion in six months seeking alternative service if she did not receive a certificate of service after going through the Central Authority. Id. at 3. On January 11, 2023, Plaintiff filed a status report stating that she filed the documents with the Central Authority. See Dkt. No. 16. Plaintiff stated that she “will come back to inform if there are new developments in the upcoming months.” Id. at 5.
There has been no update or other activity in this matter since January 11. Accordingly, Plaintiff is DIRECTED to file a status report within fourteen (14) days of this Order, indicating any developments regarding service through the Central Authority.
