Opinion
CIVIL ACTION NO. 11-15237
05-17-2012
PATRICK COLLINS, INC., Plaintiff, v. JOHN DOES 1-27, Defendants.
DISTRICT JUDGE MARK A. GOLDSMITH
MAGISTRATE JUDGE MARK A. RANDON
ORDER DENYING DOE DEFENDANTS'
MOTIONS TO QUASH SUBPOENAS (DKT. NOS 5, 6)
Before the Court are two motions to quash subpoenas issued to Jimmy T. and Tanesha W.'s (Doe Defendants) Internet Service Providers "ISP" (Dkt. Nos. 5, 6). The subpoenas seek Doe Defendants' names and addresses. Both Doe Defendants were notified of the May 17, 2012 hearing date; only Jimmy T. appeared.
As stated on the record, Doe Defendants failed to provide a basis under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45 to quash the subpoenas. Instead, both Doe Defendants raise potentially valid defenses that may be asserted if Plaintiff amends the case to include them by name. Therefore,
IT IS ORDERED that the motions to quash the subpoenas (Dkt. Nos. 5, 6) ARE DENIED.
