Because Defendant John Doe (“Defendant”) has not yet been identified, Plaintiffs 

respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference currently set for 

November 16, 2007, at 10:30 a.m. to February 15, 2008. Plaintiffs further request, pursuant to the 

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules 4(m) and 6(b)(1), that Plaintiffs’ time to serve the Summons 

and Complaint on Defendant be extended from December 7, 2007 to March 6, 2008. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant on August 9, 2007. Also on August 9, 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 University of California, Santa Cruz (“UC Santa 

Cruz”) so that Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify Defendant. On August 22, 

2007, this Court issued its Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte Application for Leave to Take 

Immediate Discovery. Pursuant to the Court’s Order, Plaintiffs have served UC Santa Cruz with a 

Rule 45 subpoena directing UC Santa Cruz to produce certain information necessary to identify 

Defendant. Plaintiffs expect UC Santa Cruz to respond to the subpoena on November 28, 2007. 

Because Plaintiffs cannot identify Defendant until UC Santa Cruz has responded to 

Plaintiffs’ subpoena, there is not yet a known defendant with whom to confer, and a case 

management conference is unnecessary at this time. Plaintiffs therefore respectfully request that the 

Court continue the case management conference currently set for November 16, 2007, at 10:30 a.m. 

to February 15, 2008. Because the original time period for Plaintiffs to serve the Summons and 

Complaint on Defendant will expire on December 7, 2007 (only nine days after Plaintiffs expect to 

receive the subpoena response enabling them to identify Defendant), Plaintiffs further request that 

the time to serve the Summons and Complaint on Defendant be extended to March 6, 2008.
