Strike 3 Holdings in the Eastern District of New York (Brooklyn & Long Island)
Strike 3 Holdings Eastern District of New York cases are John Doe copyright lawsuits filed in the federal district covering Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island. Public court records show about 423 Strike 3 Holdings dockets filed in this district in 2025 and about 242 filed in 2026 through October 14. If your internet provider sent you a letter that names this court, this page explains what that usually means.
What the Eastern District of New York is
- It is a federal trial court. Strike 3 Holdings cases here usually start against “John Doe,” identified by an IP address, not by a person’s name.
- Docket numbers often begin with 1: (Brooklyn courthouse location) or 2: (Central Islip / Long Island courthouse location). Write the full number from your letter exactly as it appears.
- Receiving the letter does not mean you have been named in the lawsuit. It usually means your provider received a subpoena and is notifying the account holder before it responds.

What usually happens after a Strike 3 Holdings Eastern District of New York ISP letter
- Your provider (for example Spectrum, Verizon Fios, Verizon 5G Home, Comcast Cable or AT&T Internet) received a subpoena seeking the account holder’s name and address linked to an IP address.
- The lawsuit is typically still captioned against John Doe. A later document, such as an amended complaint, is what would name a person.
- Do not contact Strike 3 Holdings or its attorneys yourself, and do not file anything in court on your own without advice — a filing you make yourself can put your name in the public record.

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.
