ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE WHY

ENTERED AGAINST DEFENDANTS

On January 5, 2006, the Court granted defense counsel’s motion to withdraw as counsel

of record for Defendants in this action. The Court ordered Defendants to retain substitute

counsel on or before February 6, 2006 and stayed the case until that date. Defendants did not

retain substitute counsel by February 6 and still have not retained substitute counsel.

Plaintiffs have filed a motion for an order to show cause why default should not be

entered against Defendants and a motion for an order shortening time for hearing on such

motion. Defendants’ motion for an order to show cause currently is set for hearing on March 31,

2006.

After reviewing Plaintiffs’ motions and the record in this case, the Court concludes that

 Although Mr. Feldman and the firm Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati have withdrawn

as counsel of record for Defendants, no alternate addresses for Defendants have been provided. 

The Court therefore directs Mr. Feldman to mail the instant order to Defendants at their last

known addresses, and to provide the Court with such addresses. The Court appreciates Mr.

Feldman’s assistance in this matter.
