1
Pursuant to ADR Local Rules 6–3(a) and 2–5(d)(4), Defendant Facebook, Inc. respectfully
2
objects to the appointment of Mark Petersen as a mediator for this matter. (See Dkt. No. 97.)
3
Although Facebook appreciates Mr. Petersen’s willingness to serve as a mediator in this case,
4
Facebook is currently adverse to his firm (Farella, Braun & Martel LLP) in another litigation matter
5
pending in the Superior Court of California. (See http://www.fbm.com/Ferrari_and_Facebook_

Sued_Over_Enormously_Popular_Facebook_Fan_Pages_10-15-2014/). Under the circumstances,
7
Facebook respectfully requests reassignment to another mediator.

9
Facebook has conferred with counsel for Plaintiffs regarding this objection, and Plaintiffs do
not oppose assignment to another mediator, as long as the parties are able to obtain a prompt
10
reassignment and still meet their existing deadline of August 24, 2015 for the mediation. (See Dkt.

No. 81.)
