July 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 48 CLERK'S JUDGMENT entered on 7/19/2023 pursuant to ECF #47 ORDER DISMISSING ACTION. COURT'S CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE - Non-Registered CM/ECF Participants shall be served by First Class Mail to the addresses of record listed on the (NEF) on 7/19/2023.

July 19, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 47 ORDER DISMISSING ACTION - Signed by JUDGE J. MICHAEL SEABRIGHT on 7/19/2023. In short, none of these filings establishes a basis for Plaintiff to amend her federal claims to cure the defects identified in the court's June 30 Order. Plaintiff has failed to demonstrate that Defendant itself created any contacts within Hawaii. As stated in the June 30 Order, the minimum contacts "analysis looks to the Defendant's contacts with the forum State itself, not the Defendant's contacts with persons who reside there." ECF No. 38 at PageID.418 (citing Walden v. Fiore, 571 U.S. 277, 28485 (2014)). The court thus dismisses Plaintiff's claims without leave to amend. See, e.g., Cervantes v. Countrywide Home Loans, Inc., 656 F.3d 1034, 1041 (9th Cir. 2011) ("Although leave to amend should be given freely, a district court may dismiss without leave where a plaintiff's proposed amendments would fail to cure the pleading deficiencies and amendment would be futile."). The court, as a result, also DENIES all outstanding motions as moot. The Clerk of Court shall close the case file.COURT'S CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE - Non-Registered CM/ECF Participants shall be served by First Class Mail to the addresses of record listed on the (NEF) on 7/19/2023.

June 30, 2023 Opinion or Order Filing 38 ORDER GRANTING MOTION TO DISMISS, ECF NO. 9, AND DENYING PLAINTIFF'S MOTIONS FOR PRELIMINARY INJUNCTION AND FOR TEMPORARY RESTRAINING ORDER, ECF. NOS. 22 & 35 re #9 , #22 , #35 - Signed by JUDGE J. MICHAEL SEABRIGHT on 6/30/2023. The court GRANTS the Defendant's Motion to Dismiss, ECF No.9, based on a lack of personal jurisdiction. As a result, the court likewise must necessarily DENY Plaintiff's pending Motions for Preliminary Injunction, ECF No. 22, and Motion for Temporary Restraining Order, ECF No. 35. See, e.g., Zepeda v. U.S. I.N.S., 753 F.2d 719, 727 (9th Cir. 1983) ("A federal court may issue an injunction if it has personal jurisdiction over the parties and subject matter jurisdiction over the claim; it may not attempt to determine the rights of persons not before the court."). The court seriously doubts whether an amendment to the Complaint could establish personal jurisdiction over Defendant in the District of Hawaii. Nevertheless, given Plaintiff's pro se status, the court will give Plaintiff leave to file a supplemental memorandum, consisting of no more than five pages (plus any attached documents), explaining how Plaintiff could amend her Complaint to establish personal jurisdiction over Defendant. That supplemental memorandum must be filed by July 14, 2023. Thereafter, the court will review the memorandum to determine whether to allow Plaintiff to file an Amended Complaint. Failure to file a supplemental memorandum by July 14, 2023, will result in dismissal of the action without prejudice.COURT'S CERTIFICATE OF SERVICE - Non-Registered CM/ECF Participants shall be served by First Class Mail to the addresses of record listed on the (NEF) on 7/3/2023.
