I don't think it's possible. The Zalkin Law Firm claimed in another case there were some troubles in their NY office, maybe that's where the cause lies in.

Coercion at its worst: religious mandated shunning
by Yomama inby patrick haeck any comments on article?.
-

Corney
The article is interesting as it helps to understand a party's perspective. But besides this, it doesn't offer a single argument why shunning constitutes coercion. Not to mention the flawed claims like this one:
Freedom of worship is a part of the ‘Universal Declaration of Human Rights’ and is not ‘an organizational right’.
(c'mon, it's the ABC's of human rights law that these rights can be exercised both individually and collectively, through groups, communities and organizations)

DNCall, the complaint apparently has not been yet served on Watchtower NY, which means the deadline didn't begin running.

Electronic Frontier Foundation v Watch Tower Society
by Corney in[disclaimer: the headline is slightly misleading since the eff itself doesn't participate in the case, so read more below].
it's not a secret that during the last two years watchtower obtained nearly 40 dmca subpoenas requiring google, facebook, instagram, twitter, soundcloud, scribd, reddit and other isps to provide personal information of users that allegedly infringed the society's copyright.. since subpoena proceeding is ex parte, almost all the requests were granted.. but one of the affected users contacted, on advice of youtube's legal team, the electronic frontier foundation (eff), and the foundation found a law firm ready to represent him pro bono, namely garvey schubert barer:.
youtube's legal department emailed the user on or about july 10, 2018, five days before the subpoena's return date, stating that it would comply with the subpoena unless it received a file-stamped motion to quash "or other type of formal objection before july 20, 2018.
