Supp. 2d at 42; see also, e.g., AF Holdings LLC v. Does 1-96, No. C-11-03335, 2011 U.S. Dist. LEXIS 134655, at *9 (N.D. Cal. 2011) (providing for discovery only after holding that plaintiff had “made a prima facie showing that its Complaint would withstand a motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction’); Millenium TGA LEXIS 110135, v.
