Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference 

currently set for November 16, 2007, at 2:00 p.m. to February 15, 2008. 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 

December 7, 2007 to March 6, 2008. 

Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant on August 9, 2007. Also on August 9, 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 Stanford University (“Stanford”) so that 

Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify Defendant. On August 16, 2007, this Court 

issued its Order Granting Plaintiffs’ Ex Parte Application for Leave to Take Immediate Discovery. 

Pursuant to the Court’s Order, Plaintiffs have served Stanford with a Rule 45 subpoena directing 

Stanford to produce certain information necessary to identify Defendant. Plaintiffs expect Stanford 

to respond to the subpoena on November 14, 2007. 

Because Plaintiffs cannot identify Defendant until Stanford has responded to Plaintiffs’ 

subpoena, there is not yet a known defendant with whom to confer, and a case management 

conference is unnecessary at this time. Plaintiffs therefore respectfully request that the Court 

continue the case management conference currently set for November 16, 2007, at 2:00 p.m. to 

February 15, 2008. Given the foregoing circumstances, and because the original time period for 

Plaintiffs to serve the Summons and Complaint on Defendant will expire on December 7, 2007, 

Plaintiffs further request that the time to serve the Summons and Complaint on Defendant be 

extended to March 6, 2008.
