Strike 3 Holdings Amended Complaint Florida: 0:26-cv-61477 (Fort Lauderdale)
What does a Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida filing mean for the John Doe? It means Strike 3 Holdings has the account holder’s name from the internet provider and now says a specific person is the one who shared its films.
On November 9, 2026, Strike 3 Holdings filed a First Amended Complaint in 0:26-cv-61477, a Fort Lauderdale case in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida before Judge Melissa Damian. The name and home address are redacted in the public version. An amended complaint is not a judgment and not a finding that anyone downloaded anything.
The usual next step is a request to waive service or formal service of a summons, and that starts a response deadline. If this is your case, or your provider sent you a letter about a similar one, call or tap (312) 201-8310 for a free, confidential consultation.

What the Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida filing says
- Courthouse location: Fort Lauderdale Division, Southern District of Florida. The case number on the document is 0:26-cv-61477-MD.
- Defendant: the caption still reads “John Doe subscriber assigned IP address.” The body adds an “a/k/a” with the person’s name redacted, and the home address is redacted too.
- Subpoena: after the court granted limited early discovery, Strike 3 Holdings served the subpoena on AT&T on or about July 10, 2026. The complaint says the provider responded and identified the subscriber assigned the IP address on at least one listed date.
- Household: the complaint says the named person lived at the address during the listed period and describes the other occupants only by family relationship.
- “Additional Evidence”: Strike 3 Holdings says it also logged BitTorrent activity from the same IP address involving other adult films and mainstream movies, music, books, software, and TV shows. Three paragraphs describing that evidence are fully redacted.
- Brands named: Blacked, Blacked Raw, MILFY, Slayed, Tushy, Tushy Raw, Vixen, and Wifey.
- What it asks for: statutory damages per work under 17 U.S.C. § 504(c), attorney’s fees and costs under 17 U.S.C. § 505, an order to delete the files, and a jury trial. It alleges the infringement was willful.
This Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida filing goes beyond the provider’s subpoena response. It adds household details and public-records matches to argue that the subscriber, and not someone else in the home, is the person who used the connection. Those are allegations, not findings.
What the Exhibit A shows
- 27 works. Location Weston, FL; provider AT&T Internet.
- Brand mix. Milfy 8, Blacked Raw 7, Vixen 4, Blacked 3, Tushy 3, and Wifey 2.
- Long time span. The listed hit dates run from December 6, 2023 to April 29, 2026: 1 in 2023, 7 in 2024, 6 in 2025, and 13 in 2026.
- Recent activity before filing. The latest hit, April 29, 2026, came 19 days before the May 18, 2026 complaint.
- Older and newer titles. Publication dates of the works run from February 13, 2019 to April 29, 2026. Each row lists the work’s copyright registration number, but no titles.
How the Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida case got here
| Date | ECF | Docket event |
|---|---|---|
| 05/18/2026 | 1 | John Doe complaint filed; clerk’s notice of judge assignment to Judge Melissa Damian |
| 06/09/2026 | 5 | Strike 3 Holdings motion for early relief (the early-subpoena request) |
| 07/08/2026 | 6 | Order on that motion; the amended complaint says the court granted limited early discovery |
| about 07/10/2026 | — | Subpoena served on AT&T, according to the amended complaint |
| 08/10/2026 | 7 | Order to show cause |
| 08/17/2026 and 08/18/2026 | 8, 9 | Motion for extension of time, and Strike 3 Holdings’ response to the order to show cause |
| 09/14/2026 | 10 | Order on the motion for extension of time |
| 10/16/2026 | 11 | Second motion for extension of time, ruled on the same day |
| 11/09/2026 | 13 | First Amended Complaint with Exhibit A |
| 11/09/2026 | 14 | Motion for leave to serve a third-party subpoena before the Rule 26(f) conference, referring to the July 8 order; responses due 11/23/2026 |
Filed the same day as the Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida pleading, the November 9 motion asks for permission to serve one more subpoena on a third party before the parties’ discovery conference. Its target is not named in the docket text. A docket entry like this is not a ruling, and Judge Damian had not ruled on it as of November 10, 2026.
Judge Melissa Damian and Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases
Judge Melissa Damian has drawn at least 20 other Strike 3 Holdings John Doe cases in the Southern District of Florida since April 2024: 18 in Fort Lauderdale (“0:”) and 2 in West Palm Beach (“9:”). Her chambers are listed on the Southern District of Florida judge page.
- All 20 are closed. In 19 of them, Strike 3 Holdings filed a notice of voluntary dismissal and the court entered a closing order. A voluntary dismissal is not a finding about who did what, and the docket does not show the terms of any resolution.
- Most closed quickly. 13 of the 20 closed within 100 days of filing. The median was 91 days.
- Only one earlier amended complaint. In 0:24-cv-61540, filed August 22, 2024, Strike 3 Holdings filed an amended complaint on December 4, 2024, 104 days after filing. The court closed that case on May 6, 2025.
- This case is running longer. 0:26-cv-61477 reached its amended complaint 175 days after filing, after an order to show cause and two extensions of time.
Each judge writes their own orders, so the conditions in one case do not predict another. What the docket does show is that a Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida filing is uncommon in Judge Damian’s cases, and that this one has moved past the subpoena stage.
What a Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida filing means for the John Doe
- It is not a judgment. An amended complaint is a set of allegations. Nothing has been decided about who used the connection.
- Service or a waiver request usually comes next. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, Strike 3 Holdings must serve a summons or ask for a waiver of service. Either one starts a response deadline. The deadline varies by letter and court, so act fast.
- The name is redacted for now. The public amended complaint still reads John Doe, with the name and address blacked out.
- The subscriber and the user are not always the same person. That is why the amended complaint spends pages on the household and on other BitTorrent activity. Those details can be contested.
- Court appearances are rarely necessary. Most people we talk with want a quiet, anonymous resolution. Antonelli Law® also defends clients in court when needed.
Every Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida filing, like any amended pleading, is governed by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15. The provider’s notice to the subscriber comes from the Cable Communications Policy Act, 47 U.S.C. § 551. For how earlier amended complaints played out in other states, see Strike 3 Holdings amended complaints in New Jersey and New York and when a defendant’s name becomes public.

Posted by John | August 05, 2026 | Hired Attorney
great experience with Antonelli
“I hired Jeffrey Antonelli for a copyright infringement issue (Strike3) in Massachusetts. It was a very good decision. He has dealt with many such cases and immediately put me at ease. He ended up negotiating a settlement that was much less than what I told him was my limit. He understood my privacy concerns and ensured that my name stayed out of any communication with opposing counsel, court filings etc. The whole issue was wrapped up within 3 weeks. He charges a non-negligible fee, but it is 100% worth it if you want to settle quickly and quietly and move on.”

Frequently asked questions: Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida
Do I need a Florida lawyer for a Strike 3 Holdings case?
No. Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases, including this amended complaint in the Southern District of Florida, are federal copyright cases. Antonelli Law® handles Strike 3 Holdings matters in federal courts nationwide, and you can work with us by phone, email, and secure upload. Court appearances are rarely necessary, and we also defend clients in court when that is needed.
What is the Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida case 0:26-cv-61477 about?
It is a revised version of the original complaint. In 0:26-cv-61477, Strike 3 Holdings filed its First Amended Complaint on November 9, 2026, after the internet provider responded to a court-authorized subpoena. The amended complaint keeps the John Doe caption but adds an “a/k/a” for a specific person, with the name and home address redacted in the public version. Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 15 governs amended pleadings.
Does an amended complaint mean I have been served?
No. Filing an amended complaint is not service. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 4, the plaintiff must either serve a summons and the complaint or ask the defendant to waive formal service. Your response deadline starts from service or a signed waiver. The deadline varies by letter and court, so act fast and get advice before you sign or return anything.
Will my name become public?
In this case the name and address are redacted in the public amended complaint, and the caption still reads John Doe. Whether a name stays private depends on the court’s orders and on what is filed next. Many people resolve these matters confidentially through counsel.
How many works are listed in the Exhibit A?
The Exhibit A to the Strike 3 Holdings amended complaint Florida filing in 0:26-cv-61477 lists 27 works from the Blacked, Blacked Raw, Milfy, Tushy, Vixen, and Wifey brands, with hit dates from December 6, 2023 to April 29, 2026. The location is Weston, FL and the provider is AT&T Internet.
Which courthouse is this case in?
The “0:” at the start of 0:26-cv-61477 is the courthouse location in Fort Lauderdale, in the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of Florida. The “-MD” after the number on court documents is the initials of Judge Melissa Damian.
Will I have to go to court?
Court appearances are rarely necessary in Strike 3 Holdings cases. Most people we talk with want a quiet, anonymous resolution. Antonelli Law® also defends clients in court when that is the better path.
What if I did not download anything?
The person who pays for the internet account is not always the person who used it. Shared Wi-Fi, roommates, guests, and family members are common in these cases. That difference can matter a great deal, and it is worth discussing in a free, confidential consultation before you respond to anyone.

About Author
JAntonelli
Jeffrey Antonelli is a member of the federal trial bar of the Northern District of Illinois and is admitted to numerous federal courts around the country. He has been a civil litigator nearly 25 years in a broad range of actions representing corporations and individuals as plaintiffs and defendants in state and federal court. Jeffrey has been interviewed by the media many times, including Bloomberg BNA, NBC, The New York Times, Chicago Lawyer, Chicago Tribune, and the longstanding lawyer’s publication Chicago Daily Law Bulletin. Prior to forming Antonelli Law Ltd. in 2007 Jeffrey worked for several litigation boutiques in Chicago’s Loop as well as a full service firm. His litigation experience includes hotly contested issues in intellectual property, business, insurance, and consumer fraud. He is an adviser to the Illinois Board of Higher Education Advisory Council for Private Business and Vocational Schools (PBVS), and was a member of the Illinois State Bar Association Education Law Section Council from 2012-2013. Jeffrey is especially proud of his work representing hundreds of students defrauded by improperly accredited educational institutions, including as certified class counsel. Before attending law school, Jeffrey was interested first in business, and then in biomedical ethics. These interests led him to graduate from the nation’s largest philosophy department at Loyola University in Chicago, where some of his favorite (and most challenging) subjects were cognitive science and philosophy of science. During college he held positions at the University of Chicago’s Ben May Institute; as a medical assistant for a University of Chicago foot and ankle surgeon; and volunteered in the emergency room at the University of Chicago Hospitals. These experiences led to studying health law at the DePaul College of Law where Jeffrey earned his law degree and a certificate in health law. At that time DePaul’s Institute for Health Law was consistently ranked in the top 10 health law specialty programs nationwide. During law school Jeffrey immersed himself in studying the practical and public policy aspects of health care through internships at the American Medical Association in Chicago, and on Capitol Hill at the Governmental Relations Office of the Association of American Medical Colleges in Washington, DC. Jeffrey has concentrated in civil litigation throughout his legal career, and is a member of the federal trial bar of the Northern District of Illinois, the Central District of Illinois federal court, and all federal courts of Colorado, Wisconsin, Michigan, and Indiana. In addition, he is a member of the DuPage County Bar Association and the Illinois State Bar Association. Jeffrey prides himself on his strong personal ideals, passionate, ethical advocacy, and working hard to bring the best possible results for his clients. He also maintains a special interest in cases involving fraud. Whether due to good parenting, his family’s law enforcement employment, undergraduate studies in philosophy including ethics, or a fortuitous outcome of good breeding, one essence of Jeffrey’s character is a drive to root out the truth behind fraudulent practices.
