Case No. 2:17-CV-126 JCM (NJK)
ORDER

v.
SHANNON SOISOONGNOEN, et al.,

11

Defendant(s).

13

Presently before the court is Magistrate Judge Koppe’s report and recommendation

14

following an order to show cause as to why the defendants should not be severed and all but the

15

first-named defendant dismissed. (ECF No. 23). Plaintiff ME2 Productions, Inc., filed an

16

objection. (ECF No. 26). Defendants have not filed a response, and the time to do so has since

17

passed.

18

The present case is one of many filed by plaintiff against numerous Doe defendants.

19

Exhibit 1 to ME2’s objection contains its memorandum and points of authority to support its

20

objections to the instant report and recommendation. (ECF No. 26-1). The exhibit is a carbon

21

copy of plaintiff’s objections in the case of ME2 Productions, Inc. v. Bayu, case no. 2:17-cv-00724-

22

JCM-NJK. The court issued an order in Bayu that adopted Magistrate Judge Koppe’s report and

23

recommendation in that case and severed all but the first-named defendant. For the same reasons,

24

the court finds severance here is appropriate.

25

Accordingly,

26

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Magistrate Judge Koppe’s report and recommendation

27

(ECF No. 23) be, and the same hereby is, ADOPTED in part and REJECTED in part, consistent

28

with the foregoing.
