This matter comes before the Court upon consideration of Plaintiffs’ ex parte motion for

The allegations supporting the motion are set forth in the Complaint and the memorandum in

repeated here. In brief, among other alleged wrongs, Plaintiffs assert that defendants are

posting their confidential documents on a website.

Plaintiffs are HEREBY ORDERED to serve a copy of this Order, the Complaint, the ex

no later than 3:00 p.m., Monday, February 11, 2008 (if not already served). Plaintiffs must

It is FURTHER ORDERED that hearing on Plaintiffs’ motion for a temporary

restraining order shall be heard on Thursday, February 14, 2008 at 10:00 a.m.

The Court has set this schedule in light of the fact that Plaintiffs move for a temporary

restraining order. The Court, however, is amenable to any stipulations or requests to modify

this briefing schedule and hearing date. Thus, if any of the parties wishes to modify the briefing

schedule or the hearing date, they may submit such a request to the Court demonstrating good

cause for such modification.

The Court finds it advisable to expressly remind all parties that now that litigation has

commenced, the parties, each of their officers, agents, servants, employees, and all persons

acting in concert with them, or on behalf of them, owe a duty to preserve what they know or

reasonably should know will be relevant evidence in the pending lawsuit, including any

electronically stored information, even though no discovery request or order to preserve the

evidence has yet been made. If relevant evidence is destroyed, a party may move for sanctions

pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 37(c)(2). 

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: February 11, 2008
