DEFENDANTS’ MOTION FOR EXTENSION OF TIME i
TO SET A DATE CERTAIN FOR TRIAL l
Pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, Rule 7 § (b), the Defendants in i
the above—captioned matter hereby respectfully request an Extension of Time to Set a
Date Certain for Trial. One of the causes of action alleged by the Plaintiff involves a
question of law regarding expectation of privacy under the Connecticut State
Constitution. On or about August 9, 2005, the Honorable Peter C. Dorsey certified the
following question to the Connecticut Supreme Court: .
"Wou1d society consider reasonable an individua1’s errpectation of privacy in i
internet subscriber information and, thus, subject to the protection against ,
unreasonable searches and seizures under article first, § 7 of the constitution of l
Connecticut?" ,
in Exposing this issue to trial prejudices the Defendants, as the Plaintiff may
obtain an award from the jury on this issue against the Defendants when in fact there (
l
is no legal basis for such an award. We respectfully request the evidentiary
l
proceedings be postponed until this question is either answered or rejected by the
Connecticut Supreme Court.
