United States District Court, District of Columbia.

Pending for determination by the undersigned is the Motion to Quash filed by Mark Paul (”Motion to Quash”) (Document No. 9).

Upon consideration of the motion, Plaintiff’s Opposition to Motions to Quash Subpoena (”Plaintiff’s Opposition”) (Document No. 11) and the entire record herein, said motion will be denied.

On January 8, 2010, Plaintiff brought this action for damages and injunctive relief for alleged copyright infringement.

Plaintiff submits that each defendant is now known to Plaintiff “only by the Internet Protocol (”IP”) address assigned to that Defendant by his or her Internet Service Provider ["ISP"] on the date and at the time at which the infringing activity of each Defendant was observed.”

By said motion, Plaintiff sought leave of the court to serve discovery through the issuance of subpoenas pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 45 on the ISPs which provided internet access to each defendant in order to determine the defendants’ identities.

By said motion, the movant seeks to quash the subpoena served on Comcast Cable Communications for certain of the movant’s identifying information.

The undersigned finds that movant has failed to demonstrate that the subpoena served upon Comcast must be quashed or modified in accordance with Rule 45(c)(3)(A), or that the court should exercise its discretion to do so in accordance with Rule 45(c)(3)(B).

First, the undersigned finds that movant cannot demonstrate that compliance with the subpoena which is the subject of world the motion subject him to any burden: the subpoena was served not on movant, but on Comcast.

See Motion at 1 (regarding movant’s belief that he will be named a party to the instant action “[i]f.

For all of the foregoing reasons, the undersigned finds that movant has failed to establish a basis upon which to quash the subpoena consistent with Rule 45 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

The undersigned assumes, for the purposes of this motion, that the individual or entity whose subscriber information was the subject of the subpoena has standing to move to quash it.
