Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference 

currently set for January 15, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. to April 15, 2008. The Court previously, on its own 

accord, rescheduled the case management conference from January 4, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. to the 

currently scheduled date. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant John Doe (“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 California 

State University – Monterey Bay (“Cal State Monterey Bay”), so that Plaintiffs could obtain 

information sufficient to identify Defendant. On October 10, 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 Cal State Monterey Bay. On November 30, 2007, Cal 

State Monterey Bay responded to Plaintiffs’ subpoena, providing Plaintiffs with identifying 

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

Now that Plaintiffs know Defendant’s identity, and in hopes of avoiding further litigation, 

Plaintiffs have sent a letter to Defendant asking him to contact Plaintiffs regarding possible 

settlement of this matter. If the parties do not reach a settlement, Plaintiffs will 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 request that the 

Court continue the case management conference currently set for January 15, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. to 

April 15, 2008.
