JOHN DOE SUBSCRIBER ASSIGNED IP
ADDRESS 67.180.248.237,

Re: Dkt. No. 10

Defendant.
The Court previously granted an application by Plaintiff Strike 3 Holdings, LLC (“Strike

13

3”) to serve a subpoena in order to ascertain the identity of the defendant in this case, then

14

identified only by an IP address. See dkt. 9. The Court ordered that “any name or other personal

15

identifying information of any current or proposed defendant shall be filed UNDER SEAL in all

16

filings.” Id. ¶ 9. Strike 3 has now identified the individual it wishes to name as defendant and

17

seeks leave to file a first amended complaint and proposed summons under seal. See dkt. 10. That

18

application is GRANTED. In addition to filing those documents under seal, however, Strike 3

19

shall also file redacted versions of both documents in the public record, redacting only

20

Defendant’s name and any other personal identifying information. Strike 3 shall continue to use

21

the current caption of the case but may identify Defendant by name in a redacted portion of the

22
23
24

amended complaint.
Going forward, Strike 3 is instructed to follow the procedure set forth at Civil Local Rule
79-5 for documents that it seeks to file under seal.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
