ORDER GRANTING 

IMMEDIATE DISCOVERY

Upon plaintiffs’ Ex Parte Application for Leave to Take

Immediate Discovery, the Declaration of Carlos Linares, and

the accompanying Memorandum of Law, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that

plaintiffs may serve immediate discovery on the University of

California, Santa Cruz to obtain the identity defendant John

Doe by serving a Rule 45 subpoena that seeks information

sufficient to identify John Doe, including the name, current

address and telephone number, permanent address and telephone

number, e-mail address, and Media Access Control (MAC) address

for John Doe. Without such discovery, plaintiffs cannot

identify the John Doe defendant, and thus cannot pursue their

lawsuit to protect their copyrighted works from infringement.
