FOR THE DISTRICT OF UTAH
In the Matter of GENERAL ORDER
BitTorrent Protocol Cases
No. 18-007
In fulfillment of the Court's obligation to promote judicial economy and the orderly
working of the judiciary, the following case-management procedures are established to address
the large number of cases alleging violation of copyright laws by use of BitTorrent to illegally
download movies ("BitTorrent Protocol cases") that have been or will be filed in this court. The
objective of this order is to streamline procedures, avoid duplication of work, combine similar
hearings, avoid inconsistent decisions, and promote judicial economy.
To achieve this goal, all currently pending BitTorrent Protocol cases will be transferred
immediately to Judge David Nuffer, and any existing referral to a magistrate judge will be
vacated. 1 Until otherwise ordered, all BitTorrent Protocol cases that are filed after the date of
this General Order shall be directly assigned to Judge Nuffer.
Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the following cases be transferred to Judge
David Nuffer and that any existing referral to a magistrate judge be vacated:
1
One ca se (2 :17cv16 TC) will not be transferred at this time, due t o the pending settlement and dismissal of one
defendant. The case may be transferred at a later date after the resolution of that pending settlement.
