No. 4:12-CV-1874 JAR

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
On October 15, 2012, Plaintiff filed a Complaint under the Copyright Act against Does 127. (ECF No. 1) On February 19, 2013, Doe 13 filed a letter, which the Court construed as a
motion to quash the subpoena. (ECF No. 14) On June 24, 2013, Plaintiff filed an Amended
Complaint, which is now the operative complaint (ECF No. 25)

The Amended Complaint is

against only two named defendants: Warren Williams (f/k/a Doe 4) and Jemard Sykes (f/k/a Doe
21). As the Amended Complaint supersedes the original Complaint, it appears that Plaintiff is
proceeding against only these two named defendants. See In re Atlas Van Lines, Inc., 209 F.3d
1064, 1067 (8th Cir. 2000) (“an amended complaint supersedes an original complaint and
renders the original complaint without legal effect”).
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Doe 13’s pro se Motion to Quash [14] is DENIED as
moot.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Does 2, Does 5-20, 22-25 are DISMISSED.1
Dated this 25th day of June, 2013.
