ORDER by Judge Laurel Beeler denying #52 Motion for Default Judgment. Because the court holds that it cannot exercise personal jurisdiction, the defendants are dismissed from this suit. The plaintiffs have now had multiple opportunities to establish personal jurisdiction. Further amendment would appear to be futile. The court therefore dismisses the defendants without prejudice to the plaintiffs' claims against them, but without leave to amend the pleadings in this case. The court directs the clerk of court to close this file. This disposes of ECF No. 52. (lblc3S, COURT STAFF) (Filed on 7/5/2017)

| Set/Reset Hearing Further Case Management Conference set for 6/29/2017 11:00 AM in Courtroom C, 15th Floor, San Francisco.

(Beeler, Laurel) (Filed on 5/5/2017) |
| Set/Reset Hearing Further Case Management Conference set for 5/18/2017 11:00 AM. The court denied the motion for default judgment after several rounds. At counsel's request at the last hearing, the court granted three weeks to amend or make a supplemental argument; the deadline was 4/27/2017. Nothing was filed.
