Plaintiff,

Defendants.

ORDER

This matter is currently before me on Defendants’ Stipulation to Jurisdictional Discovery
and Supplementation of Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (doc. 16). According to the stipulation,
the parties have reached an agreement regarding Defendants’ Motion for Leave to Conduct
Jurisdictional Discovery (doc. 13). I have reviewed the agreement contained in the stipulation,
and I find this agreement provides an economical and efficient avenue for resolving the
important question of subject matter jurisdiction posed by Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss (doc.
11). Accordingly, I approve and adopt the stipulation and Defendants’ Motion for Leave to
Conduct Jurisdictional Discovery is DENIED AS MOOT.
Defendants shall propound a formal discovery request upon Plaintiff for and Plaintiff
shall provide Defendants with all contracts, agreements or documentation of arrangements
between Plaintiff and MediaNews Group relating to MediaNews Group’s assignment of its
copyrights to Plaintiff.

Briefing on Defendants’ Motion to Dismiss will be stayed for thirty days, pending
completion of this agreed upon discovery. At that time, Defendants will have twenty-one days to
supplement their Motion to Dismiss with information and evidence relevant to Plaintiff’s subject
matter jurisdiction, revealed during the limited jurisdictional discovery described above.
Plaintiff will have twenty-one days to respond to Defendants’ supplemented motion, and
Defendants will have fourteen days to reply to Plaintiff’s Response.
