Re: UMG Recordings, Inc. et al. v. Believe S.A. et ano., No. 1:24-cv-08406-MMG
Dear Judge Garnett:

On behalf of defendants Believe S.A. and TuneCore, Inc. (collectively, “Defendants”), and with the
consent of all plaintiffs, we write to advise the Court that the parties have agreed to engage in private
mediation to see if they can resolve this dispute without further burdening the Court. The parties agree
that the mediation is more likely to be successful if the parties can devote their full attention toward a
resolution and are not simultaneously litigating claims and counterclaims. Accordingly, we respectfully
request a 90-day extension of Defendants’ time to file their response to the Complaint—from March 6,
2025 to June 4, 2025—as well as corresponding 90-day adjournments of the parties’ March 12, 2025
deadline to file the proposed case management plan and the March 19, 2025 Initial Pre-Trial
Conference. All parties have consented to the requested extension.
The Court previously granted an extension of TuneCore’s time to respond to the Complaint in order to
align its response deadline with that of foreign defendant Believe (ECF No. 19), and subsequently
granted Defendants a 30-day extension (ECF No. 30). Other than the items referenced in the first
paragraph, there are no other scheduled dates that would be affected by this request.
Respectfully submitted,
/s/ Benjamin E. Marks
