Filing 18 ORDER VACATING PRIOR EARLY DISCOVERY ORDERS AND ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE by Judge Otis D Wright, II: This copyright infringement case filed by Plaintiff Ingenuity 13 LLC has been transferred to this Court. The Court hereby VACATES any prior order in this case allowing for the issuance of a Rule 45 subpoena prior to a Rule 26(f) scheduling conference. The Court also orders Ingenuity 13 to cease its discovery efforts relating to or based on information obtained through any above mentioned Rule 45 subpo enas Ingenuity 13s previously issued subpoenas in this case are hereby QUASHED. Within 3 days of this order, Ingenuity 13 must serve a copy of this order to all parties it subpoenaed in this case. Further, Ingenuity 13 must submit a discovery status report detailing its discovery efforts in this case with respect to identifying or locating the Doe Defendant by December 31, 2012. This report must name all persons Ingenuity 13 TO SHOW CAUSE in writing by December 31, 2012, why early discovery is w arranted in this situation. No appearances are necessary. Under Ninth Circuit precedent, a plaintiff should ordinarily be allowed discovery to uncover their identities, but discovery may be denied if it is (1) clear that discovery would not uncover t he identities, or (2) that the complaint would be dismissed on other grounds. Gillespie v. Civiletti, 629 F.2d 637, 642 (9th Cir. 1980). Ingenuity 13 must demonstrate to the Court, in light of the Courts above discussion, how it would proceed to unco ver the identity of the actual infringer once it has obtained subscriber information given that the actual infringer may be a person entirely unrelated to the subscriber while also considering how to minimize harassment and embarrassment of innocent citizens. Ingenuity 13 must also explain how it can guarantee to the Court that any such subscriber information would not be used to simply coerce a settlement from the subscriber (the easy route), as opposed to finding out who the true infringer is (the hard route).Ingenuity 13s discovery status report and response to this Order to Show Cause should be filed only in case no. 2:12-cv-6662-ODW(JCx), and should be combined with the discovery status reports and responses for the related Ingenuity 13 cases. Failure to timely comply with this order will result in the dismissal of this case. (lc) |
