Currently before this Court in this action are: Defendants' Motion to Dismiss, Transfer or Stay ("Motion to Dismiss"), filed on November 10, 2008; Plaintiffs' Motion to Strike Site Technologies, Inc.'s Motion to Dismiss, Transfer or Stay ("Motion to Strike"), filed on January 20, 2009; and Defendants' L. Daniel Egger and Software Rights Archive LLC's ("SRA") Motion to Quash Plaintiff's 30(b)(6) Notice of Deposition and for Protection ("Motion to Quash"), filed on January 20, 2009. Currently before this Court (Judge Fogel and Judge Trumbull) in Miscellaneous Action No. C-09-80004 are: Yahoo!'s Motion to Compel Compliance with Yahoo!'s Subpoena on Murray & Murray P.C. ("Motion to Compel Murray"), filed on January 20, 2009; Yahoo!'s Motion to Compel Compliance with Yahoo!'s Subpoena on Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati ("Motion to Compel WSGR"), filed on January 20, 2009. The Motion to Quash, Motion to Compel Murray, and Motion to Compel WSGR are scheduled for hearing before Judge Trumbull on February 24, 2009. The Motion to Dismiss and Motion to Strike are scheduled for hearing before this Court three days later, on February 27, 2009. Plaintiffs contend this action and the miscellaneous action are related. The miscellaneous action relates to Software Rights Archive, LLC v. Google Inc., et al., Case No. 2:07-cv-511 (CE) (E.D. Tex.) (the "SRA case"), a case involving similar issues to those before this Court in this action. The Motion to Compel Murray, the Motion to Compel WSGR, and the Motion to Strike may also involve similar issues. Specifically, these motions concern whether SRA's counsel may represent Site Technologies, Inc. and assert the privilege on its behalf. Finally, the Motion to Quash and the Motion to Dismiss may be related and involve similar issues. Specifically, the Motion to Dismiss questions the sufficiency of SRA's contacts with this forum for jurisdictional purposes, while the Motion to Quash questions whether Plaintiffs may conduct a Rule 30(b)(6) deposition of SRA to oppose the Motion to Dismiss.

Assignment of the miscellaneous action to this Court will conserve judicial resources. It would be efficient to schedule the hearing of all of these motions together. The parties, along with counsel for Murray & Murray P.C. and Wilson, Sonsini, Goodrich & Rosati, therefore respectfully request that the Court assign Miscellaneous Action No. C-0980004 to this Court and also schedule the Motion to Dismiss, Motion to Strike, Motion to Quash, Motion to Compel Murray, and Motion to Compel WSGR for hearing on the same day.
