WHEREAS, due to the outbreak of COVID-19 and the travel, social, and other restrictions 

imposed in light of the same, the Parties agreed to reschedule mediation for June 9, 2020; 

WHEREAS, to facilitate potential out-of-court resolution, the Parties have agreed to defer until 

after the rescheduled mediation Defendants’ deadlines to respond to Eventbrite’s jurisdictional 

discovery requests; depositions pursuant to the Court’s November 19, 2019 Order and October 25, 

2019 Order granting Eventbrite’s Motion for Preliminary Injunction; further briefing on Defendants’ 

Motion; and other case action items.

IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED AND AGREED AS FOLLOWS:

1. In the event mediation fails to resolve the case, Defendants shall respond to Eventbrite’s

jurisdictional discovery requests and, subject to any objections they may assert, serve all documents 

and information responsive to such requests, on or before June 26, 2020;

2. To the extent Eventbrite perceives any deficiencies or defects in Defendants’ written

responses to Eventbrite’s jurisdictional discovery requests and associated document productions, the 

Parties shall meet and confer promptly in order to avoid motion practice or narrow issues requiring the 

Court’s intervention. To the extent the Parties agree that supplemental written responses and/or 

document productions are warranted, Defendants shall provide any such supplemental written 

responses and/or document productions by July 10, 2020;

to Eventbrite’s jurisdictional discovery requests and associated document productions, Eventbrite shall 

file appropriate motion(s) to compel on or before July 17, 2020. Defendants’ opposition(s) to such 

motion(s) shall be filed on or before July 24, 2020. Eventbrite’s reply(ies) to such opposition(s) shall 

be filed on or before July 31, 2020. The Parties will work with Court staff in order to facilitate an 

expedited hearing on any motion(s) filed under this Paragraph.

4. In the absence of any motion(s) by Eventbrite to compel further jurisdictional discovery

responses from Defendants, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Mr. Loranger will appear 

for deposition in San Francisco, California between July 17 and July 24, 2020, to testify as required 

under the Court’s Orders dated October 25, 2019 and November 19, 2019. In the event that Eventbrite 

files any motion(s) to compel further responses, unless otherwise agreed in writing by the Parties, Mr.

hearing schedule applicable to Eventbrite’s motion for preliminary injunction and application for writ

Management Conference (see Dkt. Nos. 46, 55, 60).

Pursuant to Civ. L.R. 6-2(a), the Parties advise that the above Stipulation, if entered, would 

have only minor impact on the case calendar, by deferring the Case Management Conference and 

resolution of the Taurus Defendants’ motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction, improper 

venue, and forum non conveniens. No Case Management Conference has yet been held. No trial date 

has been set.
