Motion for Limited Discovery to Identify Defendants
Sophus Limited v. John Does
Date of Court Filing: 2020-05-01
Court Name: United States District Court
Court Jurisdiction: Eastern District of Virginia
Case Number: 20-cv-00502
Document Summary
Motion requesting limited, expedited discovery for the sole purpose of identifying the John Doe defendants. Plaintiff argues that the defendants concealed their identities through anonymized infrastructure and that early discovery directed to third-party registrars, hosting providers, and ISPs is necessary to effect service and proceed with the case. Relief sought is narrowly tailored discovery prior to a Rule 26(f) conference.
