Strike 3 Holdings Wisconsin: 2 New Cases (Free Guide)
Did your internet provider send you a letter about a Strike 3 Holdings Wisconsin case filed November 3, 2026? On November 3, 2026, Strike 3 Holdings filed two new John Doe copyright cases in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Wisconsin. 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 Wisconsin filings: 2 cases filed November 3, 2026
Both cases were filed the same day, numbered from 2:26-cv-02045 to 2:26-cv-02046. The “2:” at the start of each docket number is the courthouse location in Milwaukee.
The table lists details from the Exhibit A for both cases, 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 those documents. In these cases the caption names only a John Doe, so the IP address comes from the Exhibit A.
| Filed | Docket | IP address | City | ISP | Works listed |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 11/03/2026 | 2:26-cv-02045 Exhibit A |
98.144.242.196 | Oak Creek, WI | Spectrum | 30 |
| 11/03/2026 | 2:26-cv-02046 Exhibit A |
65.30.154.93 | Mukwonago, WI | Spectrum | 25 |
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 the October cases in this district, see Strike 3 Holdings Wisconsin filings. For how these letters work in general, see our ISP letter guide.
What the Exhibit A details show
- Two cases in one day. Both Strike 3 Holdings Wisconsin cases were filed in Milwaukee on November 3, 2026.
- 55 works listed. The Exhibit A for 2:26-cv-02045 lists 30 works (04/09/2026 to 10/17/2026), and the Exhibit A for 2:26-cv-02046 lists 25 works (02/03/2026 to 10/07/2026).
- Two different communities. The IP addresses trace to Oak Creek, WI and Mukwonago, WI.
- One provider. Both cases involve Spectrum.
- Recent activity. The latest date listed in any of the Exhibit A documents is 10/17/2026, 17 days before filing.
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 Wisconsin cases
We checked court records for all 2 Strike 3 Holdings Wisconsin cases on November 4, 2026. Every case already has an assigned judge. The court lists its judges on its judges page.
| Docket | Courthouse location | Assigned judge | Early subpoena motion | Order |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2:26-cv-02045 | Milwaukee | Judge J. P. Stadtmueller | Not filed as of 11/04/2026 | None yet |
| 2:26-cv-02046 | Milwaukee | Judge J. P. Stadtmueller | Not filed as of 11/04/2026 | None yet |
What the pattern shows
Judge J. P. Stadtmueller has 2:26-cv-02045 and 2:26-cv-02046.
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 judges in this district handled earlier requests on our Strike 3 Holdings Wisconsin filings 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 Wisconsin 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 Wisconsin cases
- Strike 3 Holdings files a John Doe complaint identified only by an IP address. That step is done in all 2 cases.
- 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.
- If the court agrees, the provider notifies the account holder. 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 Wisconsin cases depend on the judge and on the terms of each order. In the Strike 3 Holdings Wisconsin cases where we have the Exhibit A, the internet provider listed is Spectrum (2 cases). That provider would send the subpoena letter for those cases. Our ISP letter guide explains what the letter means.

great experience with Antonelli
“I hired Jeffrey Antonelli for a copyright infringement issue (Strike3) in Massachusetts. It was a very good decision. He has dealt with many such cases and immediately put me at ease. He ended up negotiating a settlement that was much less than what I told him was my limit. He understood my privacy concerns and ensured that my name stayed out of any communication with opposing counsel, court filings etc. The whole issue was wrapped up within 3 weeks. He charges a non-negligible fee, but it is 100% worth it if you want to settle quickly and quietly and move on.”

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.
