The Court, having considered Plaintiff Zynga Game Network Inc.'s ("Zynga's") Motion for Leave to Conduct Third Party Discovery ("Motion"), the supporting declaration of Sean Hanley, and the pleadings on file in this matter, hereby GRANTS Zynga's Motion. Zynga is hereby authorized to issue a subpoena to Google Inc. for the production of all billing and account records (including all Internet domain names), server logs, contact information, transaction histories and correspondence with the persons or entities that have purchased services from Google Inc. in connection with the Internet domain name CHIPSJOCKEY.COM. Zynga is hereby authorized to issue a subpoena to Plimus Corporation, Inc. for the production of all billing and account records, server logs, contact information, transaction histories and correspondence with the persons or entities that have purchased services from Plimus Corporation, Inc. in connection with the Internet domain name CHIPSJOCKEY.COM. Zynga is hereby authorized to issue a subpoena to Provide Support, LLC for the production of all billing and account records, server logs, contact information, transaction histories and correspondence with the persons or entities that have established accounts with Provide Support, LLC in connection with the Internet domain name CHIPSJOCKEY.COM. Zynga is further authorized to issue follow-up subpoenas to Google Inc., Plimus Corporation, Inc. and Provide Support, LLC for the above-identified documents relating to the Defendants, based on additional information that is identified to Zynga in production from third party discovery. Zynga is further authorized to issue follow-up subpoenas to identify Defendants, if necessary, to online service providers, payment processors, and other third parties, based on information provided by the subpoenaed parties. These subpoenas shall be for the same categories of documents as identified above. // // // //

Because Zynga has not yet identified or located Defendants, Zynga may serve the subpoenas pursuant to this Order without complying with the requirement of Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45(b)(1) that it provide notice to Defendant prior to serving the subpoenas.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
