Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee Filings: 4 New Cases (Sept. 29–Oct. 5, 2026)
This Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee update covers 4 new John Doe copyright cases that Strike 3 Holdings, LLC filed in Tennessee federal courts between September 29 and October 5, 2026: 2 in the Middle District of Tennessee and 2 in the Western District of Tennessee.
Each complaint names an internet subscriber only by an IP address. A filing is not a finding that the account holder downloaded anything. Many judges have noted the infringer may be a family member, roommate, guest, neighbor or someone else. One of those judges is a United State Supreme Court Justice – Justice Sotomayor stated in Sony v. Cox Communications: “When Cox receives a copyright-violation notice, however, the notice specifies only which connection was used to infringe, not who used it to commit infringement.”

What Exhibit A shows
Exhibit A is the plaintiff’s one- or few-page list attached to each of the Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee complaints. It states a location, an IP address, an ISP name, a total “works infringed” count, and a line for each title with a UTC timestamp and a copyright registration number. The location is where the plaintiff says the IP address geolocates. It is not a street address, and it is not a finding about who used the connection. The works count is an allegation in the filing, not a bill.
If your letter is about one of these Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee cases, match the full docket number on your letter, including the courthouse location digit before the colon. A city match alone is not enough, because several cases in the same city can be filed on the same day.
Who signed the Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee complaints
All four Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee complaints listed above (3:26-cv-01396, 3:26-cv-01419, 2:26-cv-03292, and 2:26-cv-03293) are signed by two attorneys for Strike 3 Holdings, LLC: Dawn M. Sciarrino, Esq., of Sciarrino & Shubert, PLLC in Brentwood, Tennessee, and Jacqueline M. James, Esq., of The James Law Firm, PLLC in White Plains, New York. Both signature blocks appear on the last page of each complaint linked in the tables.
These are familiar names to us. Antonelli Law® has successfully resolved hundreds of cases where the movie company was represented by one or both of these attorneys.
Who is handling these cases – The Judges
Both Western District of Tennessee cases (2:26-cv-03292 and 2:26-cv-03293) carry the same judge initials on the filed documents, TLP and cgc, meaning they were assigned to the same district judge (Judge Thomas L. Parker) and the same magistrate judge (Magistrate Judge Charmiane G. Claxton) in the Memphis courthouse. Because one judge is handling both, the two cases will likely move on the same timetable when Strike 3 Holdings asks for permission to subpoena Comcast Cable.
What usually happens next
A complaint filed in court, including the Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee complaints above, does not mean a letter goes out that day. Strike 3 Holdings first asks the judge for permission to serve a subpoena on the internet provider before the usual discovery conference. If the judge allows it, the provider writes to its subscriber, usually with the case number, the IP address, and a date. That date is normally the provider’s own date for responding to the subpoena. It is not a deadline to answer a complaint that names you. Orders and timing vary by judge, so read your letter carefully. Subpoena timing is covered on its own page: Strike 3 Holdings ISP subpoena orders.
The person who pays the internet bill may not be the person who used the connection. A housemate, guest, family member, or someone on an open network can share the same IP address.
What you can do
If you receive a provider letter about one of the Strike 3 Holdings Tennessee cases:
- Keep the provider’s letter and the envelope or email it came in.
- Write down the docket number and the date on the letter.
- Do not contact Strike 3 Holdings or its lawyers yourself before you understand your options.
- Do not delete files or change equipment in a way that could look like destroying evidence.

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.”

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.
