In a Massachusetts case, New Sensations v. Does 1-201, the Court, in an electronic order, has sua sponte severed and dismissed as to Does 2-201:
Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER severing all defendants but Doe 1 entered. Beneath the cloud of rhetoric, New Sensations, Inc., raises nothing in its Response beyond conjecture to suggest that these defendants are appropriately joined together. The court accepts counsel's representation of good faith in attempting to litigate these cases. However, under the civil rules, in fairness to all involved, including the court, these cases should be litigated and defended in separate causes of action. Therefore, the court will dismiss without prejudice defendants 2 - 201. (Zierk, Marsha) (Entered: 10/10/2012)
