GOOGLE INC.'S MOTION TO LIMIT DISCOVERY AND FOR SCHEDULING ORDER Defendant Google Inc. ("Google"), by its attorneys, respectfully requests the Court to enter an order setting a case management schedule that will allow for immediate summary adjudication of a single legal question that will dispose of Plaintiffs' only economically viable claim: whether Google can be liable under the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act, 15 U.S.C. §1125(d) ("ACPA") for providing advertising content to domains registered and operated by others. Google further asks the Court to limit discovery in this case to discovery needed to bring and oppose that motion, deferring discovery on other issues until after the Court's ruling on that motion. The Court should grant Google's motion for the reasons stated in the contemporaneously filed Memorandum of Points and Authorities.
