Strike 3 Holdings New York: 10 New Cases (Free Guide)

Strike 3 Holdings New York filings kept coming on October 28, 2026, when Strike 3 Holdings filed 10 new John Doe copyright cases in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of New York. 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 each case stands in court records as of October 29, 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 York filings: 10 cases filed October 28, 2026

All 10 cases were filed the same day. The “1:” at the start of each docket number is the courthouse location in Brooklyn. 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 Eastern District of New York cases the IP address also appears 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 all New York filings in one place, see our Strike 3 Holdings New York lawsuits hub and our Eastern District of New York page. For how these letters work in general, see our ISP letter guide.

What the Exhibit A details show

• 403 works in total. The 10 Exhibit A documents we have list between 24 and 79 works each. The largest, 1:26-cv-06917, lists 79 works (01/14/2024 to 10/13/2026).
• Three different communities. Six IP addresses trace to Brooklyn. Three IP addresses trace to Queens. The others trace to Staten Island.
• Four providers. Five cases involve Verizon Fios; two cases involve Optimum Online; two cases involve Spectrum; one case involves Astound Broadband.
• Very different time spans. In 1:26-cv-06926 the activity listed covers 58 days (08/16/2026 to 10/12/2026). In 1:26-cv-06917 it runs from 01/14/2024 to 10/13/2026.
• Recent activity. The latest date listed in any of the Exhibit A documents is 10/23/2026, five days before filing.
• Overlapping titles. 16 file hashes appear in more than one Strike 3 Holdings New York 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 York cases

We checked court records for all 10 Strike 3 Holdings New York cases on October 29, 2026. Five of the 10 Strike 3 Holdings New York cases already have an assigned district judge. The other five (1:26-cv-06920, 1:26-cv-06921, 1:26-cv-06922, 1:26-cv-06923, and 1:26-cv-06924) showed no judge assignment when we checked. The court lists its judges on its judges page.

What the pattern shows

Five different district judges drew the five assigned Strike 3 Holdings New York cases. Judge Diane Gujarati, Judge Ramon E. Reyes, Jr., Judge LaShann DeArcy Hall, Judge Nina R. Morrison, and Judge Nicholas G. Garaufis each have one case.

Magistrate judges referred so far: Magistrate Judge Clay H. Kaminsky, Magistrate Judge Robert M. Levy, Magistrate Judge Joseph A. Marutollo, Magistrate Judge Marcia M. Henry, and Magistrate Judge Lara K. Eshkenazi. 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 New York 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 10 cases.
2. It asks the court for permission to subpoena the internet provider before the usual discovery conference. As of October 29, 2026, that request has not been 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 York 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.
