Pro se plaintiffs moved for entry of default against all defendants. Defendants are three

foreign corporations and an individual all based in China, which is a party to the Hague

Convention. Plaintiffs’ affidavit of service indicated that they personally served all defendants

in China (Dkt. No. 11). There was no indication that they complied with the requirements for

serving foreign individuals or corporations ans set forth in Rule 4(f)(1) and 4(h)(2),

respectively. Accordingly, the Clerk denied plaintiffs’ motion for entry of default (Dkt. No.

13). In light of the foregoing, plaintiffs are hereby ORDERED TO SHOW CAUSE, in writing, by

JUNE 10 AT NOON, why service should not be quashed.
