PURSUANT TO CIVIL L.R. 6-2, Defendant The Freecycle Network, Inc. ("The
Freecycle Network") and Plaintiff FreecycleSunnyvale ("FreecycleSunnyvale ") respectfully
request this Court to enter an order changing time.
I. INTRODUCTION
The above-captioned lawsuit concerns The Freecycle Network's claim of trademark rights
over the term "freecycle," the phrase "The Freecycle Network," and a stylized logo depicting the
term "freecycle." FreecycleSunnyvale seeks a declaration of non-infringement or, in the
alternative, a declaration that the alleged trademarks are generic or that The Freecycle Network
has engaged in naked licensing. The Freecycle Network has filed counterclaims, alleging
10
11 12
trademark infringement, contributory infringement, and unfair competition under the Lanham
Act, as well as California state-law claims for unfair competition. Counsel for both parties appear pro bono. This Court's Case Management Order presently sets the fact discovery cutoff for
13
August 3,2007. See Order (April 3, 2007; Document # 65). For the following reasons, The
14
15 16
17
Freecycle Network and FreecycleSunnyvale respectfully request a ninety (90) day extension of
the fact discovery cutoff for the limited purpose of completing previously noticed depositions, and all other deadlines in the Case Management Order.
II. REASONS FOR THE REQUESTED ENLARGEMENT OF TIME
18
19
The parties' request for an extension of the fact discovery cutoff is limited to the sole
purpose of completing party and non-party depositions previously noticed. Due to witness
20
21 22
unavailability, party and non-party witnesses whose depositions were noticed in advance of the
current discovery cutoff of August 3,2007, will not be available for deposition prior to August 3rd. Should the Court grant the parties request for a ninety (90) day extension to the current
23
24
25
discovery cutoff, however, the parties have agreed that they will not propound any further written
discovery requests or deposition notices.
In addition, assuming that fact discovery will be extended, the other deadlines in this
26
27
28
Court's Case Management Order should be similarly extended by ninety (90) days.

The parties' proposed order will not affect the ADR process in this Court. On June 13, 2006, the parties engaged in court-connected mediation, which was conducted by William N. Herbert, Esq. In addition, during the months of January to April, 2007, the parties engaged in
mediation through the Ninth Circuit's mediation program by virtue of a related case which is on
5
appeal to the Ninth Circuit, in an attempt to reach a global settlement including the action before
6

this Court. Both attempts at mediation have been unsuccessful in settling the lawsuit or
narrowing the issues to be litigated.
V. CONCLUSION
9
For the foregoing reasons, the parties respectfully request an order changing time that
10 11
12 13
grants an approximately ninety (90) day extension of the fact discovery cutoff for the limited purpose of completing previously noticed depositions, and all other deadlines in the Case
Management Order.
