Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference 

currently set for January 4, 2008, at 10:30 a.m. to April 4, 2008. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant John Doe (“Defendant”) on September 20, 

2007. Also on September 20, 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 

San Francisco, so that Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify Defendant. On 

September 28, 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 University of 

San Francisco. On November 30, 2007, University of San Francisco responded to Plaintiffs’ 

subpoena, providing Plaintiffs with identifying information including Defendant’s name, address, 

and telephone number. 

Now that Plaintiffs know Defendant’s identity, and in hopes of avoiding further litigation, 

Plaintiffs have sent a letter to Defendant on December 18, 2007 asking her to contact Plaintiffs 

regarding possible settlement of this matter. If the parties do not resolve this dispute, Plaintiffs plan 

to file an amended complaint naming Defendant personally. 

Given the foregoing 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 January 4, 2008, at 10:30 a.m. to 

April 4, 2008.
