Order

Pending before the court is the defendant Dianna Johnson's motion to dismiss [Docket 20]. Ms. Johnson moves the court (1) to dismiss Count 3 of the plaintiff DIRECTV, Inc.'s complaint [Docket 1] for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted and (2) to dismiss Ms. Johnson from the action because of the improper joinder of parties.  Count 3 of the complaint alleges that the defendant is civilly liable for violating 18 U.S.C. § 2512.  Because neither 18 U.S.C. § 2512 nor 18 U.S.C. § 2520 provides for civil liability for violations of 18 U.S.C. § 2512, I FIND that Count 3 of the complaint fails to state a claim for which relief can be granted.  Accordingly, I GRANT the defendant's motion to dismiss Count 3 of the complaint.  I also FIND that the claims against Ms. Johnson are not reasonably related to the claims against the other defendants, and I therefore GRANT Ms. Johnson's motion to dismiss pursuant to Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 20 and 21.  I also FIND that all other defendants except the first named defendant are improperly joined, and, accordingly, ORDER sua sponte the dismissal without prejudice of all other defendants except the first named defendant.
