Plaintiff,
Case No. C14-1153RAJ
ORDER GRANTING EXPEDITED
DISCOVERY
v.
DOES 1-10,
Defendants.
This matter comes before the court on Plaintiff’s Ex Parte Motion for Expedited
Discovery. Dkt. # 4. Because Plaintiff cannot identify the Doe defendants without discovery
from internet service providers regarding each Defendant’s IP address, the court GRANTS
Plaintiff’s motion.
Plaintiff may initiate discovery, including the issuance of subpoenas under Fed. R. Civ.
P. 45, on Internet service providers (“ISP”) seeking information sufficient to identify each Doe
Defendant, including his or her name, telephone number, address, email address, and Media
Access Control address (if available). An ISP who Plaintiff serves with a subpoena authorized
by this Order shall give written notice, which includes email notice, and a copy of the subpoena
to any affected subscriber(s) as soon as possible after service of the subpoena. The ISP and/or
any affected subscriber(s) shall have thirty (30) days from the date of service of the subpoena on

the ISP to object to the subpoena pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(2)(B). The ISP shall not
disclose Defendants’ identifying information during the 30-day period or if a timely objection is
served unless and until the Court orders it to do so. If anyone objects, the ISP shall preserve any
material responsive to the subpoena for a period of six months in order to allow Plaintiff to move
for an order compelling production under Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(d)(2)(B)(i). If no one objects, the
ISP shall comply with the subpoena within ten (10) days.
Plaintiff shall provide a copy of this Order with each subpoena it issues.
DATED this 18th day of August, 2014.
