Naomi Reice Buchwald\nUnited States District Court\nSouthern District of New York\n500 Pearl Street\nNew York, New York 10007\n\nRe: Dixit v. Smart Digital Group Limited, et al., No. 1:26-cv-00296-NRB \u2013 Opposition to\nPlaintiffs\u2019 Pre-Motion Letter Requesting Alternative Service for Individual Defendants\n\nDear Judge Buchwald:\n\n        We write on behalf of Defendant Cogency Global Inc. (\u201cCogency\u201d) in response to\nPlaintiffs\u2019 July 30, 2026 pre-motion letter seeking leave to serve Defendants Yunting Chen,\nQiongshan Huang, and Sam Wai Hong (the \u201cIndividual Defendants\u201d) through either Smart\nDigital Group Limited\u2019s (\u201cSDM\u201d) counsel or Cogency, SDM\u2019s registered agent. The request\nshould be denied because Cogency has no authority to accept service on behalf of the\nIndividual Defendants and Plaintiffs have not established that service through the Hague\nConvention is impracticable. Plaintiffs\u2019 authorities do not otherwise support the relief they\nseek.\n\n        First, Plaintiffs acknowledge that Cogency informed them that it would not accept\nservice on behalf of the Individual Defendants. That is because Cogency is not an agent for\nservice of process for any of the Individual Defendants, who are former officers and directors\nof SDM. Cogency serves only as SDM\u2019s registered agent for purposes of its Form F-1 filing.\nPlaintiffs nevertheless ask the Court to deem service on Cogency sufficient as to individuals for\nwhom Cogency has never acted as an agent and from whom it has no authority to accept\nservice. Plaintiffs cite no authority allowing a court to compel a registered agent of a\n\n\nK&L GATES LLP\n599 LEXINGTON AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10022-6030\nT +1 212 536 3900 F +1 212 536 3901 klgates.com\n\f         Case 1:26-cv-00296-NRB            Document 58   Filed 08/04/26      Page 2 of 3\n\n\nPage 2\n\n\n\n\ncorporation to accept service for former officers and directors who have never designated that\nagent for such purpose.\n\n        Plaintiffs have offered no evidence that any Individual Defendant appointed Cogency as\nan agent for service of process, and New York courts have long recognized that authority to\naccept service cannot be presumed. As one New York Court explained, \u201c[a]n attorney is not\nautomatically considered the agent of his client for the purposes of the service of process,\u201d and\nabsent proof that a defendant designated the purported agent to accept service, service is\nineffective. Broman v. Stern, 172 A.D.2d 475, 476 (2d Dep\u2019t 1991). The principle is equally\napplicable here.\n\n        Second, while New York courts do allow parties to serve adversaries in Convention\ncountries by alternative, court-directed means, where a treaty prescribes a method of\ninternational service, its requirements are mandatory absent a meaningful showing that service\nthrough the Convention would be \u201cimpracticab[le]\u201d under CPLR 308(5) or 311(b). Mut.\nBenefits Offshore Fund v. Zeltser, 140 A.D.3d 444, 446 (1st Dep\u2019t 2016) (affirming denial of\nmotion for leave for alternative service); Kyoko Yamamoto v. Hidehiko Yamamoto, 43 A.D.3d\n372, 372 (1st Dep\u2019t 2007) (affirming denial of plaintiff\u2019s request for alternative service by\npersonal delivery to counsel).\n\n        Plaintiffs have made no such showing here, but instead simply state that the Individual\nDefendants\u2019 addresses are \u201cunknown\u201d because they have thus far been unable to locate them\nvia \u201csearch[ing] publicly available records using Google, SEC filings, and artificial intelligence\nplatforms.\u201d1 Instead, Plaintiffs ask the Court to bypass the Convention entirely based on\ngeneralized assertions that Hague service in China can be expensive and time-consuming.\nPlaintiffs\u2019 position would effectively render Hague procedures optional whenever a litigant\nfinds them inconvenient.\n\n        Plaintiffs principally rely on Orient Plus International Ltd. v. Baosheng Media Group\nHoldings Ltd., 2024 WL 2317715 (S.D.N.Y. May 22, 2024). It is not clear that that same level\nof diligence in attempting to locate the Individual Defendants\u2019 addresses has been effected\nhere, where, as noted above, their purported diligence consists of internet searches and requests\nthat counsel and Cogency voluntarily accept service. Similarly, Plaintiffs\u2019 requested alternative\nservice presents reasonable questions of compliance with basic notice and due process where\nthe Individual Defendants are\u2014by Plaintiffs\u2019 admission\u2014not current officers or directors of\nthe Company, and there is no reason to believe that service on SDM\u2019s registered agent or\n\n1\n    Plaintiffs\u2019 Pre-Motion Letter, at 2.\n\n\nK&L GATES LLP\n599 LEXINGTON AVENUE NEW YORK NY 10022-6030\nT +1 212 536 3900 F +1 212 536 3901 klgates.com\n\f      Case 1:26-cv-00296-NRB               Document 58       Filed 08/04/26   Page 3 of 3\n\n\nPage 3\n\n\n\n\ncounsel would apprise the Individual Defendants of this lawsuit. For those reasons, Plaintiffs\u2019\nreliance on Stream SICAV v. Wang (involving service of the then-current general manager of\ndefendant) is misplaced. Stream SICAV, 989 F. Supp. 2d 264, 279\u2013280 (S.D.N.Y. 2013)\n(noting that \u201c[a]lthough high-employees of subsidiaries may in some circumstances be far\nenough removed from their corporate parents that service upon the parents would not be\n\u201creasonably calculated\u201d to apprise the employees of the pendency of the action, that is not so\nhere. Wang is the general manager of all of SmartHeat\u2019s Chinese subsidiaries \u2026.\u201d)\n\nIn conclusion, Plaintiffs have not shown that alternative service on Cogency is proper where\nCogency has never represented the Individual Defendants, and there has not been sufficient\nshowing that Plaintiffs\u2019 service through the Hague Convention would be impracticable.\n\nFor these reasons, Cogency respectfully requests that the Court deny Plaintiffs\u2019 request for\nleave to effect alternative service through Cogency.\n\n\n\n\n                                                  Respectfully,\n\n                                                  /s/ Joanna A.
