The Court hereby ORDERS the recipients of the subpoenas not to provide the subpoenaed information pending resolution of the order to show cause. Plaintiff is further ORDERED to immediately serve a copy of this order on the recipients of the subpoenas, and to file a proof of service so indicating by noon on 5/12/17.
On May 11th, ME2 Productions duly filed the following certificate of service indicating it had served the ISPs with the court’s Order (CenturyLink, COX Communications, and Charter Communications) . Cert of Service re Order on ISPs
Unfortunately, this appears to have been too late. At least according to one caller to Antonelli Law in case number 17-cv-00723 they already received a settlement demand letter from Hamrick & Evans attorney Chaz Rainey about the ME2 Productions lawsuit.
