Case No. 4:12CV01679 AGF

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court on its own motion. The Court previously ordered
Defendant Doe No. 6 to provided explicit reasons in support of its objection to the
Plaintiff’s request for pertinent identifying information as part of the preliminary
expedited sure discovery approved by the Court in this action. (Doc. No. 15.)
Thereafter, Doe No. 6 filed a statement repeating its objection but indicating only that it
did not wish to comply with the discovery request or provide identifying information.
This response, without more, is insufficient to excuse Doe No. 6 from participating in the
Court-ordered expedited discovery and providing the information requested. See Fed. R.
Civ. P. 37(b).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Doe No. 6’s objection, having been construed
as a motion to quash the request for expedited discovery, is DENIED.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Charter Communications, Inc. (“Charter”),
the Internet Service Provider for Doe Number 6, is ordered to provide, on or before May

16, 2013, the requested identifying information in its possession regarding Doe Number
6.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Charter shall notify Doe Number 6 of
Charter’s obligation pursuant to this Order to disclose, on or before May 16, 2013, the
requested identifying information.
