 CASE NO. C-07-03404 HRL 

60406-0014/LEGAL13821972.2

Procedure 16(e), Civil L.R. 16-2(e) and the Standing Order Re: Initial Case Management and 

Discovery Disputes issued in this litigation, as the only party presently before this court, Plaintiff

Facebook, Inc. thereby stipulates upon the Court’s approval as follows: 

1. By order dated September 28, 2007, this court continued the case management 

conference to January 8, 2008, and authorized plaintiff Facebook, Inc. to serve discovery on 

third-party Internet Service Providers ("ISPs") Look Communications Inc. ("Look") and Rogers 

Cable Communications Inc. ("Rogers") in order to obtain information relating to the identities of 

the persons responsible for the unauthorized access of Facebook's computer system. 

2. Facebook initiated an action in Canada and presented the Canadian Court with the 

letters rogatory authorized by this Court in order to obtain the authority from the Canadian 

Courts to conduct the discovery referenced in paragraph 1 above. 

3. On October 26, 2007, the Ontario Superior Court of Justice granted Facebook's request 

and Facebook thereafter served discovery on Look and Rogers to obtain information related to the 

identities of the persons responsible for the unauthorized access of Facebook's computer system. 

4. Facebook received information from Rogers in early November and Look on 

November 30, 2007. 

5. On December 12, 2007, Facebook filed its First Amended Complaint naming 

defendants Brian Fabian, Josh Raskin, Ming Wu, Istra Holdings, Inc., Slickcash.com, and 

1564476 Ontario Limited as defendants. 

6. Facebook thereafter undertook to serve defendants with a copy of the First Amended 

Complaint, Summons, ECF Registration handout form U.S. District Court, Notice of Assignment 

of Case to a U.S. Magistrate Judge; Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR 

Deadlines, contents of Joint Case Management Statement, Consent to Proceed before a U.S. 

Magistrate Judge and Standing Order re: Initial Case Management and Discovery Disputes. 

Facebook received confirmation of service on defendant Ming Wu, Istra Holdings, Inc., 

Slickcash.com, and 1564476 Ontario Limited on December 18, 2007, and Brian Fabian on

 CASE NO. C-07-03404 HRL 

60406-0014/LEGAL13821972.2

7. On December 19, 2007, counsel for Facebook received a letter from Canadian counsel 

David Wilson with the firm Beard Winter, LLP indicating that they were counsel for defendants 

1564476 Ontario Limited, Istra Holdings Inc., Brain Fabian, Josh Raskin and Ming Wu. A copy 

of that letter is attached as Exhibit A. Counsel for defendants also indicated that they were in the 

process of retaining U.S. counsel. 

8. On December 21, 2007, counsel for Facebook spoke with Canadian counsel David 

Foulds with the firm Davis LLP, indicating that he represented defendant Josh Raskin. Mr. 

Foulds indicated that Mr. Raskin had not received service of the Summons and Complaint and 

that he would determine whether he was authorized to accept service of the Summons and 

Complaint on behalf of Mr. Raskin and inform Facebook of the decision after the upcoming 

holidays. 

9. On December 21, 2007, counsel for Facebook forwarded a draft of this stipulation to 

Mr. Wilson. On December 24, 2007, Mr. Wilson stated that he could not sign this stipulation on 

account of the fact that he was not qualified to practice law in the State of California. A copy of 

the email received from Mr. Wilson is attached as Exhibit B. 

10. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 12, defendants have 20 days in which to 

respond to the complaint, thereby making the responses of defendant Ming Wu, Istra Holdings, 

Inc., Slickcash.com, and 1564476 Ontario Limited due on January 7, 2007, and that of Brian 

Fabian due on January 8, 2007. 

11. As a result of the recent service of defendants, the parties did not conduct an initial 

conference of the parties on December 18, 2007 as required by the Order setting the Case 

Management Conference date of January 8, 2007. Dkt. 25. 

12. In consideration of the fact that Facebook has worked diligently to obtain information 

related to the identity of the persons responsible for the unauthorized access of Facebook's 

computer system described in the First Amended Complaint and the fact that defendants are 

residents of Canada who were recently served or have not yet been served with the Summons, 

First Amended Complaint and other materials identified in paragraph 6 above, the parties
