Defendants.

This matter comes before the Court on a letter request seeking to quash a
16
subpoena issued to Comcast in the above-captioned matter. Dkt. # 7. The subpoena
17
appears to be moot as it relates to IP address 76.121.42.83. The Court granted leave for
18
preliminary discovery for the purpose of identifying the Doe defendants: that purpose has
19
now been accomplished insofar as Jerry Mulder is concerned. Plaintiff has the
20
information it needs to serve Doe 13.
21
Quashing the subpoena will not preclude this action for copyright
22
infringement. To the contrary, the case will officially begin with personal service of the
23
complaint, at which point defendant will have the opportunity to respond to the merits of
24
plaintiff’s claims.1

If and when service is accomplished on Mr. Mulder, he may want to review Fed. R.
Civ. P. 12 when evaluating his options for presenting defenses and objections.
