1. Orrick will accept service of process on behalf of all Defendants.

2. Defendants shall have until and including August 5, 2016 to answer or otherwise respond to the Complaint.

3. If Defendants file any motion in response to the Complaint, the Parties will meet and confer on a briefing schedule.

4. The Initial Case Management Conference should be rescheduled from July 5, 2016 to August 16, 2016, at 2:00 p.m., in Courtroom 10, 19th Floor, 450 Golden Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California.

5. The Parties shall file their Joint Case Management Statement no later than five (5) court days prior to the Initial Case Management Conference.

6. As provided by the March 24, 2016 Order Setting Initial Case Management Conference and ADR Deadlines (Dkt. No. 4), all other deadlines provided by that order are continued consistent with the rescheduling of the Initial Case Management Conference to August 16, 2016, except for the conference required by Rule 26(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, which the Parties have agreed to complete on or before July 12, 2016.
