Place: Courtroom 3, 17th floor 

Judge: Honorable Richard Seeborg 

The undersigned counsel for the parties in the above-captioned action hereby stipulate and 

agree, pursuant to Civil Local Rule 6-2, as follows: 

WHEREAS, on February 26, 2016, Plaintiffs filed a Complaint for Copyright Infringement 

and Unfair Competition (the “Complaint) against Defendants [Dkt. 1]; 

WHEREAS, on May 9, 2016, Radionomy Group, B.V. filed a motion to dismiss pursuant to 

Rule 12(b)(2) and Radionomy Group B.V. Radionomy, S.A. and Radionomy, Inc. filed a motion to 

dismiss pursuant to Rule 12(b)(6) [Dkt. 32], and Alexandre Saboundjian filed a motion to dismiss 

pursuant to Rule 12(b)(2) and 12(b)(6) [Dkt. 31];

establishing personal jurisdiction [Dkt. 41];

DISCOVERY

2 CASE NO. 16-CV-00951-RS

WHEREAS, on or about June 1, 2016, Plaintiffs served separate sets of document requests, 

interrogatories, and requests for admission on each of the Defendants (collectively, the “Discovery 

Requests”);

WHEREAS, on June 8, 2016, the Court entered an order, among other things: (i) denying 

Defendants’ motions to dismiss without prejudice; (ii) granting Plaintiffs’ request for limited 

discovery of facts relating to personal jurisdiction and (iii) and requiring such discovery to be 

completed within the next 45 days; i.e., by July 25, 2016 (the “Order”) [Dkt. 46]; 

WHEREAS, after the Court issued the Order, Plaintiffs advised Defendants of the specific 

Discovery Requests they contend relate to jurisdiction and, on June 24, 2016, Defendants served 

initial written responses to those requests; 

WHEREAS, Defendants are moving with all due haste to gather and review documents 

potentially responsive to the jurisdictional Discovery Requests, but anticipate needing additional 

time to complete their production in light of the need to navigate and comply with various European 

data privacy laws or blocking statutes and because many of the documents are foreign-language 

documents that require translation to facilitate review; 

WHEREAS, Defendants intend on complying with their discovery obligations in this Action 

and under U.S. law, including the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, but require additional time to 

produce documents to Plaintiffs, and Plaintiffs anticipate requiring additional time to review and, if 

necessary, translate foreign language documents prior to taking any jurisdiction related depositions 

of Defendants; 

WHEREAS, the parties have scheduled a mediation for July 19, 2016, which could 

potentially resolve the dispute in this case and eliminate the need for Defendants to complete 

jurisdictional discovery.

NOW, THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY STIPULATED by and between the parties, through 

their respective counsel that:

3 CASE NO. 16-CV-00951-RS

1. Defendants’ deadline for producing documents responsive to Plaintiffs’ jurisdictional 

requests shall be extended from July 25, 2016 to August 25, 2016, but Defendants shall undertake 

reasonable, good faith efforts to produce documents responsive to such requests on a rolling basis in 

advance of this deadline; 

2. After Defendants complete the production of documents responsive to Plaintiffs’ 

jurisdictional discovery requests, the parties shall meet and confer regarding the schedule of any 

jurisdiction related depositions, taking into account the witnesses’ schedules and the time needed 

for Plaintiffs to translate and review foreign language documents prior to such jurisdiction related 

depositions. The deadline for the completion of such jurisdictional depositions shall be October 14, 

2016.
