Plaintiff,
Case No. C17-0892RSL
v.
ORDER
DOES 1 - 14,

12

Defendants.

13
14

This matter comes before the Court on a letter from Nicholas Kambale. Dkt. # 9.

15

Mr. Kambale apparently notified Comcast, his internet service provider, that he objected

16

to the release of his contact information. His subsequent letter to the Court indicates that

17

he is unsure how to proceed in this matter. He does not, however, state any valid grounds

18

on which to quash the subpoena.

19

To the extent Mr. Kambale is objecting to the release of his contact information,

20

the objection is overruled. Plaintiff alleges that a person associated with Mr. Kambale’s

21

IP address violated the copyright laws by copying a motion picture, Boyko Undisputed 4.

22

In order to pursue this litigation, plaintiff needs to be able to serve the alleged infringers

23

with the complaint and summons. The information sought from Comcast will allow it to

24

do that, at which point Mr. Kambale can present any defenses he may have or may

25

attempt to negotiate a settlement of the claims against him.
