Re:
Ultra International Music Publishing, LLC and Ultra Music Publishing Europe
AG v. Sony Music Entertainment et al., Case No. 24-9149
Dear Judge Abrams:
We are counsel for Ultra International Music Publishing, LLC and Ultra Music
Publishing Europe AG (together, “Plaintiffs”) in the above referenced action (the “Action”).
We write in response to this Court’s Order dated December 3, 2024, which states in
relevant part: “If Defendants have not yet been properly served, . . . not filed a responsive
pleading, and/or the parties otherwise seek to adjourn the conference, they shall notify the Court
by no later than January 24, 2025.” (ECF No. 37 at 2.)
We write to inform the Court that: (1) pursuant to this Court’s Order, the deadline for
Defendants Sony Music Entertainment and Ultra Records, LLC (the “Appearing Defendants”) to
respond to the Complaint is February 17, 2025 (ECF No. 45); and (2) on January 23, 2025,
Plaintiffs filed a motion for leave to serve the remaining fourteen defendants—all of whom are
located outside the United States—via email or social media pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. 4(f)(3) (the
“Service Motion,” (ECF No. 49 et seq.)).
On these grounds, we respectfully request that the Court adjourn the initial scheduling
conference that is currently set for January 31, 2025. The Appearing Defendants have informed
us that they join in this adjournment request.

Defendants have filed the Service Motion because they wish for the remaining defendants
to appear as soon as possible, and for the Court to then proceed with the initial scheduling
conference.
We appreciate the Court’s consideration of this matter.
Respectfully,
Jeffrey M. Movit
