December 4, 2014. Dkt. No. 1. Pursuant to Rule 4(m) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure,

18

Plaintiff had until April 5, 2015 to serve defendants. On March 3, 2015, Plaintiffs filed an Ex Parte

and obtain documents from Automattic, Inc. and Facebook, Inc. to learn the identities of the Doe

22

required showing of good cause. Dkt. No. 10. However, the court gave Plaintiffs leave to re-file

the application for expedited discovery. Id. Plaintiffs have not re-filed the application for

24

expedited discovery. The Doe defendants have not been served.
