SAN JOSE DIVISION

BLADEROOM GROUP LIMITED, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

FACEBOOK, INC., et al.,

Defendants.

Case No.5:15-cv-01370-EJD (HRL)

ORDER RE FACEBOOK’S REQUEST 

FOR REISSUANCE OF AMENDED 

LETTERS ROGATORY

Re: Dkt. No. 245

Facebook requests that this court re-issue amended letters rogatory as to 4 witnesses in 

England. Having reviewed the request, this court is prepared to grant Facebook’s request, but 

notes the following:

1. Section VII.A. of each letter states that written evidence and documents are to be sent 

to this court. The court has modified this section in each letter to show the court’s full 

street address.

2. Each letter references several exhibits, but Facebook has not provided copies of those 

exhibits to this court. Nor has Facebook clearly identified (i.e., by docket number) 

what documents it has in mind, and this court is not going to guess. To the extent 

Facebook wants the letters to be sent along with the referenced exhibits, it shall provide 

those exhibits to the court forthwith.

3. With respect to the redacted versions of the Vaney and Batchelor letters, this court 

assumes that Facebook does not want those versions to be sent to England, since 

Facebook does not specifically say so. Accordingly, this court will sign and file the 

redacted versions as requested, but will not forward them to the court in England.

SO ORDERED.
