Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey: 6 New Cases (Free Guide)

Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey filings started again on October 30, 2026, when Strike 3 Holdings filed six new John Doe copyright cases in the U.S. District Court for the District of New Jersey. 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 October 30, 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 New Jersey filings: 6 cases filed October 30, 2026

All six cases were filed the same day. The first digit of each docket number is the courthouse location: “1:” is Camden (4 cases) and “2:” is Newark (2 cases).

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. Strike 3 Holdings puts the IP address in the case caption in these cases, so the IP address column shows the address from each caption until we have the Exhibit A.

Source: court records for each case, including the complaint and Exhibit A, as of October 30, 2026. The city and provider come from Exhibit A and reflect the IP address, not a named person. “Not on the documents 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 filings in this state, see Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey: September 2026 and the details about New Jersey Strike 3 Holdings lawsuits. For how these letters work in general, see our ISP letter guide.

What the Exhibit A details show

• Six cases in one day. All six Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey cases were filed on October 30, 2026, numbered from 1:26-cv-14137 to 2:26-cv-14143.
• The IP address is in the caption. Each case is captioned as Strike 3 Holdings, LLC v. John Doe subscriber assigned IP address, followed by the address. Search the table for the IP address in your letter.
• 262 works in total. The six Exhibit A documents list between 25 and 72 works each. The largest, 1:26-cv-14137, lists 72 works (04/10/2026 to 10/20/2026).
• Six different communities. The IP addresses trace to Gibbstown, NJ, Woodbury, NJ, Sewell, NJ, Collingswood, NJ, Hamburg, NJ, and West Orange, NJ.
• Three providers. Three cases involve Verizon Fios; Two cases involve Comcast Cable; One case involves Brightspeed Fiber.
• Very different time spans. In 1:26-cv-14139 the activity listed covers 34 days (09/19/2026 to 10/22/2026). In 1:26-cv-14138 it runs from 11/25/2023 to 09/29/2026.
• Recent activity. The latest date listed in any of the Exhibit A documents is 10/22/2026, eight days before filing.
• Overlapping titles. Four file hashes appear in more than one Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey 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 New Jersey cases

We checked court records for all 6 Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey cases on October 30, 2026. Two of the 6 Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey cases show an assigned judge. The dockets for 1:26-cv-14137, 1:26-cv-14138, 1:26-cv-14139, and 1:26-cv-14141 showed no judge assigned yet when we checked on October 30. The court lists its judges on its judges page.

What the pattern shows

Two different judges drew the 2 assigned Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey cases. Judge Stanley R. Chesler and Judge Susan D. Wigenton each have one case.

Magistrate judges referred so far: Magistrate Judge Alex D. Silagi, Magistrate Judge Cari Fais. In many districts the magistrate judge is the one who rules on an early subpoena request.

As of October 30, 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 New Jersey 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 New Jersey cases

1. Strike 3 Holdings files a John Doe complaint identified only by an IP address. That step is done in all 6 cases.
2. It asks the court for permission to subpoena the internet provider before the usual discovery conference. As of October 30, 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 New Jersey 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.
