Federal courts that hear Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey lawsuits
New Jersey has one federal district, the District of New Jersey, and all Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey lawsuits we have covered were filed there. The district sits in three courthouse locations, and the first number in the docket number tells you which one has the case.
| Federal district | Courthouse locations in recent filings | What the docket number shows |
|---|---|---|
| District of New Jersey | “1:” Camden | Courthouse location, year, and case number, for example 1:26-cv-14137 |
| District of New Jersey | “2:” Newark | Courthouse location, year, and case number |
| District of New Jersey | “3:” Trenton | Courthouse location, year, and case number |
These courthouse locations come from the court records for the cases in our October 30, 2026 New Jersey filings post (Camden and Newark) and our follow-up post on nine more New Jersey cases (Newark and Trenton). Each case named one internet subscriber identified only by an IP address.

What usually happens in Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey lawsuits
- Strike 3 Holdings files a John Doe complaint in federal court, identified only by an IP address.
- It asks the court for permission to subpoena the internet provider before the usual discovery conference.
- If the court agrees, the provider sends the account holder a notice letter. That is the letter most people receive.
- 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 lawsuits differ by court and judge, and the letter tells you the date that applies to you. The account holder is not always the person who used the connection, because a shared home network, a roommate, or a guest can sit behind one IP address. See our provider pages for Comcast Xfinity, Verizon, AT&T Internet, Spectrum, Cox, Optimum, and Frontier.
Do I have to go to court in New Jersey?
Court appearances are rarely necessary in Strike 3 Holdings cases. That is not a guarantee for any one case, and Antonelli Law® also defends clients in court when that is needed or is the better path. Many New Jersey clients resolve their matters by phone and email without visiting an office or a courthouse.

Client review of Melissa Ross
“Woking with Melissa was fantastic. She was really effective in communicating with me in layman terms; translating legalize, explaining the process and making me feel I was in really good hands. She was always reachable and extremely prompt in communicating the back and forth between opposing counsel. I couldn’t have asked for more from Melissa. Because of the time zone, I was catching her late in her evenings and she always responded – THANK YOU. Sometimes you get lucky with the initial interview process, and I certainly did.”

Why did my internet provider send me a letter about Strike 3 Holdings New Jersey a lawsuit?

It is the courthouse location within the federal district. The rest of the docket number shows the year and the case number. Your letter or the subpoena attached to it lists the docket number.
Can I resolve a Strike 3 Holdings case without my name becoming public?
Often, yes. Many clients choose an anonymous settlement that resolves the case while keeping their name private. Other options include a motion to quash when there are real legal grounds and defending the case in court. A free, confidential consultation is the place to compare them.

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.
