Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference 

currently set for January 8, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. to April 8, 2008. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant John Doe #10 (“Defendant”) on September 

20, 2007. Also on September 20, 2007, Plaintiffs filed their Ex Parte Application for Leave to Take 

Immediate Discovery seeking the Court’s permission to serve a Rule 45 subpoena on San Francisco 

State University (“SFSU”), so that Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify 

Defendant. On October 3, 2007, this Court issued its Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte 

Application for Leave to Take Immediate Discovery authorizing Plaintiffs to serve a Rule 45 

subpoena on SFSU. On November 16, 2007, SFSU responded to Plaintiffs’ subpoena, providing 

Plaintiffs with identifying information including Defendant’s name, telephone number, and address. 

After learning Defendant’s identity, Plaintiffs sent a letter to Defendant on December 4, 2007 

in hopes of resolving this dispute without further litigation, and have attempted to follow up via 

telephone and e-mail. If Plaintiffs are unable to contact Defendant and resolve the dispute, Plaintiffs 

plan to file an amended complaint naming Defendant personally. 

Given the foregoing circumstances, and because there is not yet a named defendant in this 

case, a case management conference is unnecessary at this time. Plaintiffs therefore respectfully 

request that the Court continue the case management conference currently set for January 8, 2008, at 

1:30 p.m. to April 8, 2008.
