Strike 3 Holdings Florida: 13 New Cases (Free Guide)

Strike 3 Holdings Florida filings jumped on October 28, 2026, when Strike 3 Holdings filed 13 new John Doe copyright cases in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

If your internet provider sends you a letter about one of these cases, call or tap (312) 201-8310 for a free, confidential consultation.

Strike 3 Holdings Florida filings: 13 cases filed October 28, 2026

All 13 cases were filed the same day. The first digit of each docket number is the courthouse location: “2:” is Fort Myers (three cases), “3:” is Jacksonville (six cases), “6:” is Orlando (three cases), and “8:” is Tampa (one case). The table lists details from each case’s Exhibit A, the document attached to the complaint that lists the IP address, the approximate location, the internet provider, and the works Strike 3 Holdings says were shared. Links in the Docket column open the Exhibit A and, where available, the complaint for each case. Two Jacksonville cases, 3:26-cv-02963 and 3:26-cv-02965, also name the IP address in the case caption.

Source: court records for each case, including the complaint and Exhibit A, as of October 29, 2026. The city and provider come from Exhibit A and reflect the IP address, not a named person.

For how these letters work in general, see our ISP letter guide.

What the Exhibit A details show

• 584 works in total. The 13 Exhibit A documents we have list between 25 and 110 works each. The largest, 2:26-cv-02935, lists 110 works (10/22/2025 to 09/04/2026).
• 10 different communities. Three IP addresses trace to Jacksonville. Two IP addresses trace to Cape Coral. The others trace to Fort Myers, Fernandina Beach, Middleburg, Saint Augustine, Orlando, Winter Garden, Winter Park, and St. Petersburg.
• Five providers. Five cases involve CenturyLink; three cases involve Comcast Cable; three cases involve AT&T Internet; one case involves Verizon 5G Home; one case involves Spectrum.
• Very different time spans. In 3:26-cv-02969 the activity listed covers 15 days (10/01/2026 to 10/15/2026). In 3:26-cv-02970 it runs from 01/14/2024 to 10/16/2026.
• Recent activity. The latest date listed in any of the Exhibit A documents is 10/23/2026, five days before filing.
• Overlapping titles. 19 file hashes appear in more than one Strike 3 Holdings Florida Exhibit A, so the same titles show up across different cases.

These details matter because the account holder named in a later subpoena response is not always the person who used the connection. A shared home network, a roommate, a guest, or an open router can all sit behind one IP address.

Judges and early subpoena motions in the Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases

We checked court records for all 13 Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases on October 29, 2026. Six of the 13 Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases already have an assigned district judge. The other seven (2:26-cv-02934, 2:26-cv-02935, 2:26-cv-02938, 6:26-cv-02525, 6:26-cv-02527, 6:26-cv-02528, and 8:26-cv-03279) showed no judge assignment when we checked. The court lists its judges on its judges page.

What the pattern shows

Three different district judges drew the six assigned Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases. Judge Wendy W. Berger has 3:26-cv-02962, 3:26-cv-02969, and 3:26-cv-02970; Judge Jordan Emery Pratt has 3:26-cv-02963 and 3:26-cv-02964. Senior Judge Brian J. Davis has one case.

Magistrate judges referred so far: Magistrate Judge Samuel J. Horovitz (5 cases) and Magistrate Judge Patricia D. Barksdale. In many districts the magistrate judge is the one who rules on an early subpoena request.

As of October 29, 2026, none of the dockets has a motion asking to subpoena the internet provider yet, so no order and no order conditions exist so far.

That is normal this early in a case. The next step is usually a motion for leave to serve a subpoena on the provider before the discovery conference. Once a judge rules, the order sets the conditions the provider and Strike 3 Holdings must follow, such as limiting the request to a name and address and setting a notice period. Because each judge writes their own order, the conditions can differ from case to case. You can see how quickly judges ruled in another district on our Strike 3 Holdings Illinois lawsuits page.

What this means if you are the John Doe

• No letter has gone out yet in these cases. A provider letter normally follows a court order, and none of these Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases has one so far.
• The letter will name the case. When it arrives, it should list the court, the docket number, and the IP address. Compare them with the table above.
• The letter sets your timeline. The date in your provider’s letter is the date to plan around.
• Your name is not in the public case. At this stage each case lists only an IP address.

1. Strike 3 Holdings files a John Doe complaint identified only by an IP address. That step is done in all 13 cases.

3. If the court agrees, the provider notifies the account holder. That is the letter most people receive.
4. After the notice period in the court order, the provider may release the account holder’s name and address unless something is filed.

Use the dates in your own letter. Timelines in Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases depend on the judge and on the terms of each order. See our provider pages for Verizon, AT&T Internet, Spectrum, Cox, Optimum, and Frontier.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need a Florida lawyer for a Strike 3 Holdings case?

Strike 3 Holdings Florida cases 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 upload.

Which courthouse is my case in?

Will my name be public?

At the subpoena stage the case usually lists only an IP address. Many people resolve these matters confidentially through counsel, often without their name appearing in the public record.

The person who pays for the internet account is not always the person who used it. That difference can matter a great deal, and it is worth discussing in a free, confidential consultation before you respond to anyone.
