Plaintiff Yahoo!, Inc. (“Yahoo!”) and Defendant One Diamond Electronics, Inc., dba 

Diamond Electronics (“One Diamond”), file this joint administrative request for the continuance of 

the case management conference (and related dates) pursuant to United States District Court for the 

Northern District of California Local Rule “(Local Rule”) 7-11 and the Honorable Maxine 

Chesney’s Standing Order. This request has become necessary because, on August 3, 2007, the 

parties received the Court’s Order denying One Diamond’s motion to dismiss for lack of subject 

matter jurisdiction. Lead counsel for the plaintiff is out of the country this week and is therefore 

unavailable to meet and confer or attend the scheduled case management conference. The parties 

also desire more time to confer with their clients regarding the effect of that Order, meet and confer 

as required under the Federal Rules and provide the Court with an appropriate joint case 

management statement before the case management conference. 

1. PROCEDURE

To make an administrative request under Local Rule 7-11, a moving party or parties must 

set forth specifically the action requested, and the reasons supporting the motion. Such a motion 

must be accompanied by either (a) a stipulation of parties under Local Rule 7-12 or, (b) by a 

declaration explaining why a stipulation could not be reached. 

2. ACTION REQUESTED

The parties respectfully request that the Court vacate and continue the case management 

conference currently scheduled for August 10, 2007 (as well as related deadlines under Federal 

Rules of Civil Procedure) to September 14, 2007, at 10:30 a.m., or a to a date and time thereafter 

that is convenient to the Court. 

3. REASONS SUPPORTING THIS REQUEST

As noted, a case management conference is currently set for August 10, 2007. Until last 

Friday, August 3, however, defendant ONE DIAMOND ELECTRONICS, INC.’S (“Diamonds”) 

motion to dismiss all of Yahoo!’s claims for lack of jurisdiction was pending before the Court, and 

the Court had stayed its decision on that motion to dismiss pending the outcome of Diamond’s 

motion to remand another action pending in the Western District of Texas to Texas state court.

Thus, while the decision on the motion was stayed, in the past the parties jointly agreed to request a 

stay of the case management conference, and the court twice continued the case management 

conference (most recently to August 10). 

The parties received notice of the Court’s ruling on Defendant’s motion to dismiss for lack 

of jurisdiction on Friday afternoon of August 3, 2007.

Because of an unexpected calendaring conflict due to a calendaring error, lead counsel for 

Yahoo!, Daniel Pascucci, is out of the country this week, and is unavailable to meet and confer with 

Diamond’s counsel concerning a joint case management statement or attend the scheduled 

conference this Friday.

Further, given the recency of the August 3 Order, the parties have not yet had the benefit of 

meeting and conferring under the federal rules after the Court issued that Order. The parties believe 

that it is in the interests of judicial efficiency for the parties to confer with their clients, meet and 

confer as required by Rule 26 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, and file an appropriate joint 

case management statement in advance of the continued case management conference. Because of 

the close proximity of the August 10 hearing and the unavailability of lead counsel for Yahoo!, the 

parties request this short continuance, and will fully comply with their obligations under the Federal 

Rules during this period. The parties have met and conferred, and both are available for a case 

management conference on Friday, September 14th.

4. STIPULATION

By signing this joint administrative request, all parties act in concert in requesting the 

District Court Judge for a continuance of the case management conference.
