IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF VIRGINIA Richmond Division LHF PRODUCTIONS, INC., Plaintiff, V. Civil Action No. 3:16cv283 JOHN DOES 1-25, Defendants. MEMORANDUM OPINION This matter comes before the Court on six motions: (1) the Motion to File Under Seal and to Proceed Anonymously (the "Motion to Seal") filed by Defendant John Doe 25, (ECF No. 6); (2) the Motion to Sever filed by John Doe 25, (ECF No. 6-3);' (3) the Motion to Quash filed by Defendant Sir Edward Thomas, Sr., (ECF No. 7); (4) the Motion for Miscellaneous Relief filed by Plaintiff LHF Productions, Inc. ("LHF"), (ECF No. 13); (5) the Second Motion to Extend Time Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) (the "Second Motion to Extend Time") filed by LHF, (ECF No. 15); and, (6) the Third Motion to Extend Time Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4(m) (the "Third Motion to Extend Time") filed by LHF, (ECF No. 16). LHF responded to the Motion to Seal, the Motion to Sever, and the Motion to Quash. Neither John Doe 25 nor Thomas filed replies to LHF's responses or responses to LHF's motions, and the time to do so has expired. The matters are ripe for disposition. The Court ' John Doe 25, who appears pro se, filed pleadings in an awkward manner: the Motion to Sever appears as an attachment to the Motion to Seal, rather than as a separate motion. Given John Doe 25's pro se status, the Court will allow the Motion to Sever, (ECF No. 6-3), to proceed as a stand-alone motion. LHF has responded to the Motion to Sever, (ECF No. 8), making it ripe for disposition.
