Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota: 4 New Cases (Free Guide)

Did your internet provider send you a letter about a Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota case filed November 3, 2026? On November 3, 2026, Strike 3 Holdings filed four new John Doe copyright cases in the U.S. District Court for the District of Minnesota. Each case names one internet subscriber identified only by an IP address. Below you will find every case, the Exhibit A details, the assigned judges where court records show one, where each case stands as of November 4, 2026, and what usually comes next. 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 Minnesota filings: 4 cases filed November 3, 2026

All four cases were filed the same day, numbered from 0:26-cv-04700 to 0:26-cv-04703. In the District of Minnesota every civil docket number starts with “0:”, so the number does not show which courthouse a case is in.

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. In these cases the caption names only a John Doe, so the IP address comes from the Exhibit A.

Source: court records for each case, including the complaint and Exhibit A, as of November 4, 2026. The city and provider come from Exhibit A and reflect the IP address, not a named person. “Not on the papers we have” means that detail is not on the court documents we have reviewed so far, not that it is missing from the case. For earlier Minnesota cases, see our Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota page. For how these letters work in general, see our ISP letter guide.

What the Exhibit A details show

• Four cases in one day. All four Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota cases were filed in the District of Minnesota on November 3, 2026.
• 160 works in total. The four Exhibit A documents list between 24 and 58 works each. The largest, 0:26-cv-04702, lists 58 works (07/10/2026 to 09/02/2026).
• Two different communities. The IP addresses trace to Saint Paul, MN (3 cases) and Minneapolis, MN.
• Three providers. Two cases involve CenturyLink; one case involves US Internet; one case involves Comcast Cable.
• Very different time spans. In 0:26-cv-04701 the activity listed covers 3 days (08/17/2026 to 08/19/2026). In 0:26-cv-04700 it runs from 10/28/2024 to 09/28/2026.
• Recent activity. The latest date listed in any of the Exhibit A documents is 09/29/2026, 35 days before filing.
• Overlapping titles. One file hash appears in more than one Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota 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 Minnesota cases

We checked court records for all 4 Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota cases on November 4, 2026. Every case already has an assigned judge. The court lists its judges on its judges page.

What the pattern shows

Judge Patrick J. Schiltz has 0:26-cv-04700, 0:26-cv-04701, 0:26-cv-04702, and 0:26-cv-04703.

Magistrate judge referred so far: Magistrate Judge Dulce J. Foster. In many districts the magistrate judge is the one who rules on an early subpoena request.

As of November 4, 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 earlier Minnesota requests were handled on our Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota ISP subpoenas 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 Minnesota 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.

What usually happens next in Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota cases

1. Strike 3 Holdings files a John Doe complaint identified only by an IP address. That step is done in all 4 cases.
2. It asks the court for permission to subpoena the internet provider before the usual discovery conference. As of November 4, 2026, we have not seen that request filed in any of these 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 Minnesota cases depend on the judge and on the terms of each order. In these Strike 3 Holdings Minnesota cases, the internet providers listed are CenturyLink (2 cases), US Internet (1 case), and Comcast Cable (1 case). Those providers would send the subpoena letter for those cases. Our ISP letter guide explains what the letter means.
