 WHEREAS, this is a suit for copyright infringement arising out of Defendants’ alleged use 

of photographs purportedly entitled to copyright protection; 

 WHEREAS, Plaintiff has brought multiple suits against numerous third parties alleging 

infringement with respect to all or many of the same copyright registration certificates asserted in 

the present action (hereafter collectively, “the Third Party Suits”); 

 WHEREAS, a number of the Third Party Suits have been transferred from the United States 

District Court for the Northern District of California to the United States District Court for the 

Southern District of New York, including, but not limited to, The Wave Studio, LLC v. American
