Plaintiffs respectfully request that the Court continue the case management conference currently set for January 11, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. to April 11, 2008. Plaintiffs filed the Complaint against Defendant John Doe #1 ("Defendant") on September 20, 2007. Also on September 20, 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 Santa Clara University ("SCU"), so that Plaintiffs could obtain information sufficient to identify Defendant. On October 3, 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 SCU. On November 16, 2007, SCU responded to Plaintiffs' subpoena, providing Plaintiffs with identifying information including Defendant's name, telephone number, and address. Now that Plaintiffs know Defendant's identity, and in hopes of avoiding further litigation, Plaintiffs have sent a letter to Defendant asking Defendant to contact Plaintiffs regarding possible settlement of this matter. Plaintiffs have followed this letter with a telephone call to Defendant, but the parties have not yet discussed settlement. If the parties are unable to resolve the dispute, Plaintiffs plan to file an amended complaint naming Defendant personally. Given the foregoing circumstances, and because there is not yet a named defendant in this case, a case management conference is unnecessary at this time. Plaintiffs therefore request that the Court continue the case management conference currently set for January 11, 2008, at 1:30 p.m. to April 11, 2008.
