ORDER STRIKING FIRST AMENDED
COMPLAINT AND DENYING AS
MOOT ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION
TO FILE UNDER SEAL
Re: Dkt. No. 12

Plaintiff Strike 3 Holdings, LLC (“Strike 3”) moves to file under seal its First Amended

13

Complaint and proposed summons identifying the defendant in this action, whom Strike 3 initially

14

sued as a Doe defendant identified only by an IP address. Pursuant to the Court’s previous order,

15

Strike 3 seeks to maintain the defendant’s name under seal.

16

The Court declines to permit Strike 3 to alter the caption of this case such that the caption

17

itself requires redaction. See Strike 3 Holdings, LLC v. John Doe Subscriber Assigned IP Address

67.180.248.237, No. 17-cv-06663-JCS, ECF Doc. No. 14 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 1, 2018) (Order Striking

19

First Amended Complaint). The First Amended Complaint is therefore STRICKEN and the

20

motion to file under seal is DENIED as moot. Strike 3 may file a second amended complaint
