vs.

DOES 1-124, 

Defendants.

Upon the Motion for Administrative Relief of Plaintiffs for Leave to Take Immediate 

Discovery, the Declaration of Jonathan Whitehead and the exhibit thereto, the Declaration of Sheila

M. Salomon, and Plaintiffs’ Request for Judicial Notice, it is hereby: 

ORDERED that Plaintiffs may serve immediate discovery on SBC Internet Services, Inc. to 

obtain the identity of each Doe Defendant by serving a Rule 45 subpoena that seeks information

sufficient to identify each Doe Defendant, including the name, address, telephone number, e-mail

address, and Media Access Control addresses for each Defendant. The disclosure of this information

is ordered pursuant to 47 U.S.C. § 551(c)(2)(B).

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED THAT any information disclosed to Plaintiffs in response to 

the Rule 45 subpoena may be used by Plaintiffs solely for the purpose of protecting Plaintiffs' rights 

under the Copyright Act. 

Without such discovery, Plaintiffs cannot identify the Doe Defendants, and thus cannot 

pursue their lawsuit to protect their copyrighted works from repetitive, rampant infringement.
