Facebook filed its complaint on June 28, 2007 alleging that the John Doe defendants unlawfully accessed its website on 200,000 occasions in violation of the Computer Fraud and Abuse Act, 18 U.S.C. § 1030 and the California Comprehensive Data Access and Fraud Act, Cal. Penal Code § 502(c). Facebook, relying on publicly available information, researched the identity of the IP address and learned that IP Address 216.127.50.2 was unlawfully accessing its proprietary computer system. The data revealing the identity of the person or entity behind these unlawful attempts is in Accretive's possession and could easily be deleted, overwritten, or otherwise destroyed. Furthermore, apart from the information on Accretive's server, Facebook does not have any other reasonable means to learn the identity of IP Address 216.127.50.20. Facebook has good cause to proceed with its discovery on Accretive and FCI, Inc., pursuant to Rule 26(d), since its case will not proceed without the information that is currently in Accretive's possession. The motion will be based upon this notice of motion and motion, the attached points and authorities, the files and records of this action, and any further evidence and argument that the Court may receive at or before the hearing.
