ORDER: This matter is before the Court on 43 Notice of Voluntary Dismissal brought by Plaintiff Openmind Solutions, Inc. ("Openmind"). Under Rule 41 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure, "the plaintiff may dismiss an action without a court order by filing... a notice of dismissal before the opposing party serves either an answer or a motion for summary judgment[.]" Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(A)(i). Rule 41(a) provides further that "[u]nless the notice... states otherwise, the dismissal is without prejudice." Fed. R. Civ. P. 41(a)(1)(B). A plaintiff's right to voluntary dismissal by notice before the filing of an answer or a motion for summary judgment is, with a limited exception not pertinent here, "absolute." Crook v. WMC Mortgage Corp., No. 06-cv-535-JPG, 2006 WL 2873439, at *1 (S.D. Ill. Oct. 5, 2006) (collecting cases). Moreover, a notice of dismissal "itself closes the file. There is nothing the defendant can do to fan the ashes of that action into life and the court has no role to play. This is a matter of right running to the plaintiff and may not be extinguished or circumscribed by adversary or court." Ward v. Gaetz, Civil No. 10-640-GPM, 2011 WL 977921, at *1 (S.D. Ill. Mar. 18, 2011) (quoting Scam Instrument Corp. v. Control Data Corp., 458 F.2d 885, 889 (7th Cir. 1972)). See also 9 Charles Alan Wright, Arthur R. Miller, Mary Kay Kane & Richard L. Marcus, Federal Practice and Procedure § 2363 (3d ed. 1998 & Supp. 2011) (when a notice of dismissal is filed in an action, "[n]o order of the court is required" to dismiss the action and "the district judge may not impose conditions" on the dismissal, because "the notice terminates the action[.]") (collecting cases). In this case, Defendants Does 1-2925, individually and as representatives of a class, have served neither an answer nor a motion for summary judgment. Accordingly, Openmind's notice of voluntary dismissal is effective to dismiss this case without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is directed to terminate this case on the Court's electronic docket. Signed by Judge G. Patrick Murphy on 3/27/2012. (jhs) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED. (Entered: 03/27/2012)

Legal Document (Payment Possibly Required) 37 Filed: 10/26/2011, Entered: 10/26/2011 Order on Motion to QuashCourt Filing
ORDER denying 24 Motion to Quash. Plaintiff Openmind Solutions, Inc. ("Openmind"), a company that manufactures pornographic video materials and purveys them over the Internet, brings this action against approximately 2,925 "John Doe" Defendants who, Openmind alleges, have pirated Openmind's products online using BitTorrrent, an Internet file-sharing protocol. Openmind alleges that the anonymous Defendants, by pirating Openmind's products, have violated the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., to wit, 17 U.S.C. § 501, prohibiting the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material. Openmind seeks certification of a defendant class of persons who allegedly have infringed Openmind's copyrights online. Openmind does not know the identities of the members of the proposed class, but seeks to direct subpoenas to various Internet service providers ("ISP"s) in order to discover the identities of the owners of Internet protocol ("IP") addresses for computers that Openmind believes have been involved in the infringement of Openmind's copyrights. It appears that the instant motion to quash is brought both anonymously and pro se by a member of the proposed class whose computer may have been involved in infringing activities. In general, of course, only the person to whom a subpoena has been directed may seek to quash the subpoena, with exceptions not pertinent here. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(c)(3)(A); Vogue Instrument Corp. v. Lem Instruments Corp., 41 F.R.D. 346, 348 (S.D.N.Y. 1967) (defendants who were neither the persons to whom subpoenas were directed nor in possession or control of the documents sought by subpoenas duces tecum lacked standing to move to quash the subpoenas). Accordingly, the motion to quash is DENIED. Signed by Judge G. Patrick Murphy on 10/26/2011. (jhs) THIS TEXT ENTRY IS AN ORDER OF THE COURT. NO FURTHER DOCUMENTATION WILL BE MAILED.

ORDER denying 23 Motion to Dismiss for Lack of Personal Jurisdiction. Plaintiff Openmind Solutions, Inc. ("Openmind"), a company that manufactures pornographic video materials and purveys them over the Internet, brings this action against approximately 2,925 "John Doe" Defendants who, Openmind alleges, have pirated Openmind's products online using BitTorrrent, an Internet file-sharing protocol. Openmind alleges that the anonymous Defendants, by pirating Openmind's products, have violated the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., to wit, 17 U.S.C. § 501, prohibiting the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material. Openmind seeks certification of a defendant class of persons who allegedly have infringed Openmind's copyrights online. It appears that the instant motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction is brought both anonymously and pro se by a member of the proposed class whose computer may have been involved in infringing activities. In general, of course, Rule 23 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires in a class action that "the representative parties will fairly and adequately protect the interests of the class." Fed. R. Civ. P. 23(a)(4). It is well-settled that adequacy of representation is the quintessence of due process in a class action. See Hansberry v. Lee, 311 U.S. 32, 42-43 (1940) ("It is familiar doctrine of the federal courts that members of a class not present as parties to the litigation may be bound by the judgment where they are in fact adequately represented by parties who are present[.]"). Adequate representation exists when a class representative with typical claims or defenses has no conflict of interest with other members of the class, and the court is satisfied that the class action will be vigorously prosecuted. See Sosna v. Iowa, 419 U.S. 393, 403 (1975) ("[W]here it is unlikely that segments of the class appellant represents would have interests conflicting with those she has sought to advance, and where the interests of that class have been competently urged at each level of the proceeding, we believe that the test of Rule 23(a) is met."); Eisen v. Carlisle & Jacquelin, 391 F.2d 555, 562-63 (2d Cir. 1968) (the ingredients of adequate representation in a class action include the existence of representation by an attorney qualified, experienced, and generally able to conduct the litigation, the elimination of the likelihood that litigants are involved in a collusive suit or that a plaintiff has interests antagonistic to those of the remainder of the class, and the existence in the plaintiff of a claim typical of the claims of the entire class). Thus, a class action may bind absent members of a plaintiff or defendant class with respect to the common issues, consistent with due process principles, if the class is adequately represented: personal jurisdiction is not required over all class members in order to reach a binding decision on the common issues involved when the class has been adequately represented. See Califano v. Yamasaki, 442 U.S. 682, 702 (1979) (upholding a national class of recipients of federal government benefits, including persons outside the jurisdiction of the forum court, in a challenge to procedures used to implement a statute authorizing recoupment procedures to recover monies paid in excess of legal entitlements); Hansberry, 311 U.S. at 41-42 ("Courts are not infrequently called upon to proceed with causes in which the number of those interested in the litigation is so great as to make difficult or impossible the joinder of all because some are not within the jurisdiction or because their whereabouts is unknown or where if all were made parties to the suit its continued abatement by the death of some would prevent or unduly delay a decree. In such cases where the interests of those not joined are of the same class as the interests of those who are, and where it is considered that the latter fairly represent the former in the prosecution of the litigation of the issues in which all have a common interest, the court will proceed to a decree."). Accordingly, in this case, assuming the existence of a member of the proposed defendant class who will represent the interests of the class adequately, the motion to dismiss for lack of personal jurisdiction is DENIED.

Legal Document (Payment Possibly Required) 35 Filed: 10/26/2011, Entered: 10/26/2011 Order on Motion to QuashCourt Filing
ORDER denying 20 Motion to Quash Subpoena brought by Nancy Waddell. Plaintiff Openmind Solutions, Inc. ("Openmind"), a company that manufactures pornographic video materials and purveys them over the Internet, brings this action against approximately 2,925 "John Doe" Defendants who, Openmind alleges, have pirated Openmind's products online using BitTorrrent, an Internet file-sharing protocol. Openmind alleges that the anonymous Defendants, by pirating Openmind's products, have violated the Copyright Act, 17 U.S.C. § 101 et seq., to wit, 17 U.S.C. § 501, prohibiting the unauthorized reproduction and distribution of copyrighted material. Openmind seeks certification of a defendant class of persons who allegedly have infringed Openmind's copyrights online. Openmind does not know the identities of the members of the proposed class, but seeks to direct subpoenas to various Internet service providers ("ISP"s) in order to discover the identities of the owners of Internet protocol ("IP") addresses for computers that Openmind believes have been involved in the infringement of Openmind's copyrights. It appears that Waddell has been contacted by her ISP about possible use of her computer in infringing activities. Waddell, who is proceeding pro se, has moved to quash the subpoena directed by Openmind to her ISP, arguing that any use of her computer to infringe Openmind's copyrights likely was the work of her son and was done without her knowledge. In general, of course, only the person to whom a subpoena has been directed may seek to quash the subpoena, with exceptions not pertinent here. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 45(c)(3)(A); Vogue Instrument Corp. v. Lem Instruments Corp., 41 F.R.D. 346, 348 (S.D.N.Y. 1967) (defendants who were neither the persons to whom subpoenas were directed nor in possession or control of the documents sought by subpoenas duces tecum lacked standing to move to quash the subpoenas).
