under L.R. 7-11 seeks an order from the Court for regarding the stipulated extension and protective order. REASONS FOR EXTENSION OF DEADLINE FOR DECLARATIONS 1. Plaintiffs Have Acted Diligently to Secure Declarations. Two days after the

Rule 11 Order, on January 24, 2007, Plaintiffs' counsel Gregory Yu e-mailed a key witness to provide further assistance in this case, but he replied the next day that he was out of the country for business and for vacation and would not return until after February 8, 2007. On January 29, 2007, the witness further replied that he would not be able to act on a request for a written declaration until after his return to the United States and his consultation with independent legal counsel. On January 30, 2007, Gregory Yu and Google's legal counsel Bart Volkmer verbally agreed in principle to an extension of the deadline for the declaration and to a grant of access by Google's counsel to all submitted declarations. Declarations from all other witnesses are expected by the original court deadline of February 6, 2007. 2. Previous Extensions Requested by the Parties. The following extensions have

been effected in this case as follows: By order on August 11, 2006, the Court granted in part KinderStart's request for an extension to file the SAC by September 1, 2006. 3. Potential Effect on the Proceedings in this Case. The motions of Google under

Fed. R. Civ. P. 8, 12 and 15 and under Cal. Code Civ. P. § 425.16 are under submission to the Court. This case is subject to the discovery stay in effect. KinderStart believes that no genuine prejudice against Google and its legal counsel arises from a 14-day extension for Plaintiffs to submit the requested declarations for adjudication of the Rule 11 Motion. Therefore, based on the above, Plaintiffs respectfully requests that the Court issue an order pursuant to the accompanying stipulation. Dated: February 1, 2007 GLOBAL LAW GROUP
