In order to maximize judicial efficiency, the Court will delay ruling on all Motions filed by the John Does until such Motions have been filed, and then will allow the plaintiff to file a single consolidated opposition to these Motions. The plaintiff, contemporaneous with the filing of its consolidated opposition, is to furnish to the Clerk with the appropriate number of copies of its consolidated opposition along with $50.00 for deposit into the Registry of the Court to cover the costs of manually mailing the "John Doe" defendants with the opposition. IT IS ORDERED that no hearing date be set at this time on the Motion to Dismiss or to Sever and Motion to Quash Subpoena and/ or for a Protective Order. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Motion to Dismiss or to Sever and Motions to Quash Subpoena by John Doe #4704 be filed into the record. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that additional Motions seeking similar relief on behalf of parties identifying themselves as "John Doe, IP number" be filed into the record. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that should any John Doe file Motions seeking similar relief, the Clerk of Court shall redact the names and addresses listed in the document and any memorandums and attachments thereto. The redacted version shall be filed and the original un-redacted version shall be filed under seal. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court shall notice the filer, via U S Mail, with this Order to the address provided by the filer. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court manually notice any John Doe appearing pro se with a copy of any Order, Minutes, Minute Entry and/or Judgment until otherwise instructed. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that specific John Does information will be withheld from the plaintiff until after the Court rules on that John Does Motion. All other information requested by the subpoena at issue (e.g., contact information for any non-moving Does) can be produced by the ISP to plaintiff. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before May 31, 2012, counsel for the plaintiff advise the Court of the return dates for the subpoenas issued and shall update this information with respect to subpoena to be issued in the future. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that counsel for the plaintiff notify any and all ISP providers whose subscribers have filed for the relief described herein that no return on the subpoenas shall be made until after the Court rules on the Motions. All John Doe defendants are hereby advised of the provisions of Local Rule 41.3 which provides that a civil action may be dismissed by the Clerk of Court or any Judge of this Court for lack of prosecution. The Clerk shall maintain all mailings returned to this Court by the United States Postal Service marked as Return to Sender on the basis that the address is unknown or the mailing undeliverable as addressed, as well as the date of the return, for potential dismissal under Local Rule 41.3.
