Strike 3 Holdings, LLC filed roughly 120 copyright infringement lawsuits in federal courts (US District Courts) across the US since my last article last month (this time last year, they were filing on average 100+ cases each month). They appear to have focused their lawsuits on the US District Courts in the states of California, Connecticut, Maryland, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. As often as it is useful, I will be listing the Strike Holdings cases which are filed in each state.
Most of these defendants were ALREADY sued… in Miami-Dade County, Florida.
What is interesting and noteworthy is that many (if not all) of the John Doe Defendants sued in each of these cases were once defendants in their Strike 3 Miami-Dade County, Florida Bill of Discovery cases.
The connection between Miami-Dade County, Florida and the US District Court (Federal Courts).
The purpose of the Miami-Dade County, Florida Bill of Discovery cases were to reveal the identities of the accused defendants across the US… so that Strike 3 can determine whether they will name and serve these defendants in their home state’s federal courts.

In other words, they ALREADY KNOW the identities of each of the accused account holders.
What we see here in each of the new filings in the federal courts — they are suing them again as JOHN DOE DEFENDANTS. Did I emphasize that? AGAIN! These new defendants are not sued as “Maude Parker, Sam Finnen, orJake Green” (I made these names up, sorry if you were actually one of the defendants), but STRIKE 3 HOLDINGS V. JOHN DOE SUBSCRIBER ASSIGNED IP ADDRESS…
In other words, they told each of the federal court judges that:
“I don’t know who this person is, so I am suing them as a “John Doe placeholder-in-lieu-of-name” defendant. “Please judge, let me send a subpoena to their ISP to force the ISP to share the accused unknown defendant’s identity with me.”
In practice, Strike 3 Holdings LLC is now sending a second subpoena to each defendant because each of these defendants have already received their first subpoena when they were accused John Doe defendants in the Florida Miami-Dade County, Florida Bill of Discovery case.
So… round two.

The Connection between the New Strike 3 Holdings, LLC Federal Court Case Filings, and the Miami-Dade County, Florida Bill of Discovery Filings.
Today is 8/18/2020, and I am writing this article to allow you to demonstrate a point to yourself — that each of you who are now involved in a federal court case were once a Miami-Dade, Florida Bill of Discovery accused defendant.
Again, pasted (below) is a list of Miami-Dade Strike 3 lawsuits which are still open:
Local Case Numbers (open cases): 2020-016660-CC-05, 2020-016669-CC-05, 2020-016577-CC-05, 2020-014518-CC-05, 2020-014520-CC-05, 2020-014481-CC-05, 2020-012478-CC-05, 2020-011743-CC-05, 2020-011744-CC-05, 2020-011499-CC-05, 2020-009492-CC-05, 2020-009491-CC-05, 2020-009493-CC-05, 2020-005388-CC-05, 2020-003890-CC-05, 2020-003891-CC-05, 2020-003737-CC-05, 2020-002968-CC-05, 2020-002019-CC-05, 2020-002021-CC-05, 2020-001616-CC-05, 2019-032919-CC-05, 2019-032825-CC-05, 2019-026368-CC-05, 2019-024647-CC-05.
Other “Strike 3 Holdings by month” articles that I have written thus far are for the MARCH 2019, APRIL 2019, JANUARY 2020, and more recently, the JULY 2020 cases. My goal in this article is to make note of the connection between the older Miami-Dade Florida Bill of Discovery cases, and the more recent Strike 3 Holdings, LLC federal court cases.
What Strike 3 Holdings, LLC did with the Miami-Dade County, Florida Court.
In the Miami-Dade County Court, Strike 3 Holdings devised a way to unmask the identities of THOUSANDS of defendants without needing to sue each defendant in Federal Court. They did this by exploiting the Florida “Pure Bill of Discovery” laws, and thus far, the Miami-Dade, Florida judges are allowing them to continue this scheme.

If you are involved in a Miami-Dade Florida state-based lawsuit, there is much that you will need to understand, as these cases differ from the copyright infringement lawsuits which are filed in federal courts.
- INITIAL ARTICLE EXPLAINING HOW STRIKE 3 IS USING THE STATE COURTS TO UNMASK DEFENDANTS’ IDENTITIES.
- FOLLOW-UP ARTICLE EXPOSING THE “BOSSES” BEHIND THE SCHEME
- RECENT ARTICLE EXPLAINING HOW DEFENSE ATTORNEYS ARE LURING DEFENDANTS IN WITH A “BAIT AND SWITCH” — OFFERING TO FILE A MOTION TO QUASH KNOWING IT WILL END UP FORCING THEIR CLIENTS TO SETTLE OR BE SUED.

*NOTES TO SELF: It is important to note that Strike 3 Holdings appears to be putting A LOT of money and resources into filing lawsuits in Maryland.
…The logic is that each of these defendants has money to pay a large settlement to them, or else they wouldn’t file the lawsuit against them.
Also interesting is that EVERY ONE of these Maryland cases were filed on ONE DAY — AUGUST 6TH, 2020.

*NOTES TO SELF: There are TWO IMPORTANT reasons why Strike 3 Holdings, LLC is putting so much money into filing lawsuits in New Jersey:
1) Strike 3 Holdings, LLC almost lost New Jersey as a state in which they would be allowed by the federal court to sue defendants (for lawyers, it was bad case law). For a short while, judges stood up to Strike 3 Holdings, LLC and stopped them from being allowed to send subpoenas to ISPs to force the ISPs to hand over the subscriber information to them.
Apparently Strike 3 won that battle, so now they are taking advantage of that “WIN” and suing many defendants in New Jersey.
2) The plaintiff attorney for each of these New Jersey cases is John Atkin of the Atkin Firm, LLC. There is a history WHY John Atkin is important to New Jersey, and that history is uncovered by understanding WHAT HAPPENED with the shake-up of attorneys last year.
