THIRD DEGREE FILMS, Plaintiff, v. DOES 1-5698, Defendants.
ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF'S
EX PARTE APPLICATION FOR
ENLARGEMENT OF TIME TO
SERVE DEFENDANTS
[ECF No. 6]
Plaintiff Third Degree Films asserts claims for copyright infringement pursuant to 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq. Complaint, ECF No. 1 at 2. It seeks an extension of time to serve the defendants. ECF No. 6 at 1. Given the subpoena process and the reliance on the Internet Service Providers, the court finds good cause and GRANTS Plaintiff's application for an enlargement of time. Fed. R. Civ. P. 4(m). But the court has severed 5,697 of the Doe defendants, leaving only Doe 1. See ECF No. 11 at 7. Accordingly, the deadlines requested by Plaintiff are overly generous. The court ORDERS that Plaintiff must name and serve Doe 1 by February 4, 2012.
This disposes of ECF No. 6.
IT IS SO ORDERED.
