UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

ZITHROMIA LIMITED, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

GAZEUS NEGOCIOS DE INTERNET SA, 

et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 3:17-cv-06475-JD 

ORDER RE RENEWED APPLICATION 

FOR ALTERNATIVE SERVICE

Re: Dkt. No. 17

The Court previously denied on several grounds plaintiffs’ “ex parte” applications for 

alternative service on defendants, who are located in Brazil, and a TRO. Dkt. No. 16. Plaintiffs 

have now filed a renewed application for alternative service. Dkt. No. 17. The salient changed 

circumstances since plaintiffs’ initial application include the fact that defendants have specially 

appeared in the case through California counsel, Dkt. No. 15, and that defendants have not 

responded to delivery of the pleadings and other papers. Dkt. No. 17-1 at 11. 

An order of service under Rule 4(f)(3) is GRANTED. Service of the complaint may be 

made on Mark Riera, the counsel of record for specially appearing defendants here. See Xilinx, 

Inc. v. Godo Kaisha IP Bridge 1, 246 F. Supp. 3d 1260 (N.D. Cal. 2017)). Plaintiffs should email 

the complaint to attorney Riera and send a hard copy by registered mail through the United States 

Postal Service to his law office. An initial case management conference is set for April 5, 2018 at 

10:00AM.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 5, 2018
