Plaintiffs hereby request that the Court continue the case management conference currently 

set for September 18, 2007, at 1:30 p.m. to December 18, 2007. Plaintiffs further request, pursuant 

to the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rules 4(m) and 6(b)(1), that Plaintiffs’ time to serve the 

Summons and Complaint on Defendant John Doe (“Defendant”) be extended from October 11, 2007 

to January 9, 2008. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against 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”). 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 so that Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify Defendant. 

UC Berkeley has responded to Plaintiffs’ subpoena, and Plaintiffs have now determined the 

identity of Defendant. However, Plaintiffs are hopeful that this case will settle without the need to 

resort to further litigation. Accordingly, Plaintiffs are attempting to contact Defendant regarding 

settlement before amending the Complaint to name Defendant, and have sent Defendant a letter to 

that effect. Therefore, a case management conference is unnecessary at this time. Plaintiffs request 

that the Court continue the case management conference currently set for September 18, 2007, at 

1:30 p.m. to December 18, 2007. Given the foregoing circumstances, and because the original time 

period for Plaintiffs to serve the Summons and Complaint on Defendant will expire on October 11, 

2007, Plaintiffs further request that Plaintiffs’ time to serve the Summons and Complaint on 

Defendant be extended to January 9, 2008.
