`
`thereafter as the matter may be heard in the courtroom of the Honorable Gonzalo P.

`California 92101, Courtroom 2D, Defendants Jacob Bychak, Mark Manoogian,

`show that the government would acquiesce in Spamhaus’ intrusive conduct in this case.

`the Declaration of Jessica C. Munk and Exhibits A-C filed concurrently herewith, the files
`and records in this case, and any evidence and argument that may be presented at the
