Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference 

currently set for December 18, 2007, at 1:30 p.m. to March 18, 2008. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant John Doe (“Defendant”) on June 13, 2007. 

Also on June 13, 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, 

Berkeley (“UC Berkeley”), so that Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify 

Defendant. On June 20, 2007, this Court issued its Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte Application 

for Leave to Take Immediate Discovery authorizing Plaintiffs to serve a Rule 45 subpoena on UC 

Berkeley. UC Berkeley responded to Plaintiffs’ subpoena, providing Plaintiffs with identifying 

information including Defendant’s name and contact information. 

In hopes of avoiding further litigation, Plaintiffs have since made numerous attempts to 

contact Defendant regarding settlement. Defendant has not responded to any of these attempts. 

Accordingly, Plaintiffs are in the process of preparing an amended complaint naming Defendant 

personally. 

Given these circumstances, and because there is not yet a named defendant in this case, a 

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

continue the case management conference currently set for December 18, 2007, at 1:30 p.m. to 

March 18, 2008.
