_____________________________________/

[ECF No. 6]

Plaintiff Third Degree Films asserts claims for copyright infringement pursuant to 17 U.S.C. §

17

101 et seq. Complaint, ECF No. 1 at 2. It seeks an extension of time to serve the defendants. ECF

18

No. 6 at 1. Given the subpoena process and the reliance on the Internet Service Providers, the court

19

finds good cause and GRANTS Plaintiff’s application for an enlargement of time. Fed. R. Civ. P.

20

4(m). But the court has severed 5,697 of the Doe defendants, leaving only Doe 1. See ECF No. 11

21

at 7. Accordingly, the deadlines requested by Plaintiff are overly generous. The court ORDERS

22

that Plaintiff must name and serve Doe 1 by February 4, 2012.

23

This disposes of ECF No. 6.

24

IT IS SO ORDERED.
