Case No. 16-cv-02179-PSG

Before the court is a motion by Plaintiff Vedanti Systems Limited for a preliminary
injunction against Defendant Max Sound Corporation.1 Max Sound has not opposed the motion;
nor has it appeared in this action at all.2 However, because Max Sound has been served with the
complaint,3 and because the motion seeks injunctive relief, the court may not grant it until Max
Sound consents to the jurisdiction of the undersigned magistrate judge.4 The court therefore
vacates the hearing on the instant motion, currently set for Tuesday, May 31, 2016. The case will
be reassigned to a district judge after the resignation of the undersigned on June 3, 2016.

See Docket No. 8.

Max Sound’s only activity has been a letter from a corporate officer, dated May 2, 2016,
requesting an extension of the briefing schedule because the company “is currently in the process
of retaining counsel to represent itself in this case, but has not yet done so.” Docket No. 20. Max
Sound must appear “through a member of the bar of this Court” under Civ. L.R. 3-9(b).
Moreover, Max Sound has offered no explanation for its delay. The request is DENIED.
