Case Number: A-2302-09T22302-09T2

Judge: Wefing

Court: Superior Court of New Jersey, Appellate Division on appeal from the Superior Court, Mercer County

Plaintiff's Attorney: Ed Cridge, Arnold Mellk, Gidian Mellk, Wills, O'Neill & Mellk, Princeton, New Jersey

Defendant's Attorney: David Lewis, Lewis & Forrey, Princeton, New Jersey

Description:
Defendant John Doe appeals, pursuant to leave granted, from a trial court order denying his motion to quash a subpoena served upon his Internet service provider. After reviewing the record in light of the contentions advanced on appeal, we reverse.



The record before us is sparse. It consists of plaintiff's complaint and the record created in connection with defendant's motion to quash. From that record, we glean the following factual background. Plaintiff was employed as a teacher by Hightstown High School. The record does not indicate how long he had served in that position, but he had achieved tenure. On July 23, 2009, he received an e-mail simply signed "Josh." It listed the sender as "'Josh Hartnett' [.]". The subject line of the e-mail stated "Hopefully you will be gone permanently[.]" The body of the e-mail read, "We are all praying for that. Josh"



A second e-mail was sent on August 11, 2009. It also indicated it was sent by "'Josh Hartnett'
Outcome:
The order under review is reversed.
