MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS Order re: Dismissal of Plaintiff's Complaints for Failure to Comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m)by Judge R. Gary Klausner: On January 17, 2013, the Court issued an Order to Show Cause as to why John Doe Defendants in the present cases should not be dismissed for failure to comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure ("Rule") 4(m). On January 24, 2013, Plaintiff filed a timely response and thus, the Jan. 17 Order to Show Cause is discharged. Plaintiff's deadlines for service of the summons and complaint expired between June to September 2012. In its response to the Court's Jan. 17 Order to Show Cause, Plaintiff has not demonstrated good cause for its failure to comply with Rule 4(m). Thus, the Court DISMISSES WITHOUT PREJUDICE Plaintiff's Complaints. (Made JS-6. Case Terminated.) (bp) (Entered: 01/28/2013)

MINUTE IN CHAMBERS ORDER Request for Further Briefing, Case ManagementOrder, and Motion for Sanction in 2:12-cv-03614 (DE 10) by Judge R. Gary Klausner: There are two categories of Defendants in these related cases: Defendants who are currently unrepresented and Defendants who are represented by The Pietz Law Firm. The Court will discuss the pending issues as to each group of Defendants separately. First, as to the unrepresented Defendants, the Court requests further briefing from the Plaintiff as to the issue of personal jurisdiction. Plaintiff responded to the Courts Order to Show Cause by submitting information about the accuracy of its IP address tracking in other federal cases. However, this data is unreliable as Plaintiff has not presented the Court with information about how it selected the defendants in those cases or the methods it used to track their location. Further, the success of Plaintiffs methods in other cases is not necessarily indicative of the likelihood that this Court has personal jurisdiction over of the present unrepresented Defendants. Plaintiff is to submit further briefing, of no more than ten pages by Friday, July 27, 2012 addressing the geo locating tools or other relevant technology it has used in the present cases to identify the location of the IP addresses belonging to the unrepresented Defendants and the accuracy and reliability of such technology. The Court will not take further steps as to these unrepresented Defendants until it has resolved the issue of personal jurisdiction. Second, as to the represented Defendants, these Defendants have waived any objections to personal jurisdiction. (See Brief re: Jurisdiction and Sanctions for Related Case Rule Violations, 1: 6-10.) Further, John Doe Number 5 in 2:12-cv-03614 requests that the Court consider its previously filed Motion for Sanctions. Plaintiff has opposed that Motion and Defendant makes reply arguments in its response to the Order to Show Cause. Therefore, that Motion is deemed submitted. Upon full consideration of the arguments and evidence submitted in that case, the Court finds insufficient good cause to impose sanctions and hereby denies the Motion for Sanctions at Docket Entry 10 in 2:12-cv-03614. Because this Courts July 10, 2012 Case Management Order vacated any subpoenas that had previously been issued, Plaintiff may only proceed with discovery as to the represented Defendants upon further motion to the Court.
