UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS, LLC,

Plaintiff,

v.

JOHN DOE SUBSCRIBER ASSIGNED IP 

ADDRESS 162.203.163.22,

Defendant.

Case No. 18-cv-02014-JCS 

ORDER STRIKING FIRST AMENDED 

COMPLAINT AND DENYING AS 

MOOT ADMINISTRATIVE MOTION 

TO FILE UNDER SEAL

Re: Dkt. No. 12

Plaintiff Strike 3 Holdings, LLC (“Strike 3”) moves to file under seal its First Amended 

Complaint and proposed summons identifying the defendant in this action, whom Strike 3 initially 

sued as a Doe defendant identified only by an IP address. Pursuant to the Court’s previous order, 

Strike 3 seeks to maintain the defendant’s name under seal.

The Court declines to permit Strike 3 to alter the caption of this case such that the caption 

itself requires redaction. See Strike 3 Holdings, LLC v. John Doe Subscriber Assigned IP Address 

67.180.248.237, No. 17-cv-06663-JCS, ECF Doc. No. 14 (N.D. Cal. Feb. 1, 2018) (Order Striking 

First Amended Complaint). The First Amended Complaint is therefore STRICKEN and the 

motion to file under seal is DENIED as moot. Strike 3 may file a second amended complaint 

retaining the current caption of this action and including the defendant’s name and any other 

relevant identifying information redacted and under seal within the body of the complaint.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: December 4, 2018
