On January 20, 2015, the Court granted Plaintiffs leave to take early discovery to identify

13

the Defendant in this case. Dkt. No. 14. On March 12, 2015, Plaintiffs requested additional time

14

to locate Defendant. Dkt. No. 16. They stated that the information provided in Google’s

15

subpoena response included the time date stamped IP address from which the operator of the blog

16

made his infringing posts, and that they geo-located the IP addresses to a service provider in

17

London. Plaintiffs stated that they would attempt to subpoena the subscriber’s indentifying

information from the service provider. The Court granted a further continuance, scheduling a
Case Management Conference on June 25, 2015, and setting a June 18 deadline for a case
management statement. Dkt. No. 17.
As there had been no further docket activity, the Court ordered Plaintiffs to file a status
report by June 24, 2015. Dkt. No. 18. In their response, Plaintiffs stated they had attempted to

22
obtain information informally without success. Dkt. No. 19. Plaintiffs expressed their intention to

request a letter to the Queen’s Bench Division of the High Court Ministry of Justice, requesting
that an order be issued to the non party ISP to produce the required documents. Plaintiffs declared
they would file the request by July 8, 2015, or file a voluntary dismissal without prejudice.
Neither has been filed. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS Plaintiffs to show cause why this
case should not be dismissed for failure to prosecute and failure to comply with court deadlines.

1

Plaintiffs shall file a declaration by July 23, 2015. No chambers copy is required. If a responsive

2

declaration is filed, the Court shall either issue an order based on the declaration or conduct a

3

hearing on August 6, 2015 at 10:00 a.m. in Courtroom B, 15th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue,

4

San Francisco, California. Notice is hereby provided to Plaintiffs that the Court may dismiss this

5

case without a hearing if no responsive declaration is filed. Thus, it is imperative that the Court

6

receive a written response by the deadline above.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
