Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference 

currently set for January 8, 2008, at 2:00 p.m. to April 8, 2008. Plaintiffs have not requested, and the 

Court has not granted, any previous continuance of this case management conference. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant John Doe #6 (“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 Santa Clara 

University (“SCU”), so that Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify Defendant. On 

October 1, 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 SCU. On 

November 16, 2007, SCU 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 November 28, 

2007 in hopes of resolving this dispute without further litigation. Defendant responded to Plaintiffs’ 

letter and the parties have now initiated settlement discussions. If the parties reach a settlement, 

Plaintiffs will promptly file dispositional documents with the Court. If the parties are unable to 

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 

2:00 p.m. to April 8, 2008.
