order Order on Sealed Motion to Proceed Under Pseudonym Mon 05/05 10:18 AM
MINUTE ORDER: The Court ORDERS that: 1) Plaintiff's2 Motion to Proceed Under Pseudonym is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE as it does not address the five-factor inquiry that applies to such motions, see In re Sealed Case , 971 F.3d 324, 326-27 (D.C. Cir. 2020); 2) Within fourteen days of the Court's Order, Plaintiff shall file either a new Motion that addresses the factors identified in In re Sealed Case or a Notice advising the Clerk of the Court whether he wishes to proceed under his true name, and, if so, he shall also file his2 Motion on the public docket as an appendix to that Notice; and 3) If Plaintiff does not file a new Motion or such Notice within fourteen days, the Clerk is directed to terminate the case. The factors identified in In re Sealed Case are: 1) whether the justification asserted by the requesting party is merely to avoid the annoyance and criticism that may attend any litigation or is to preserve privacy in a matter of a sensitive and highly personal nature; 2) whether identification poses a risk of retaliatory physical or mental harm to the requesting party or, even more critically, to innocent non-parties; 3) the ages of the persons whose privacy interests are sought to be protected; 4) whether the action is against a governmental or private party; and, relatedly, 5) the risk of unfairness to the opposing party from allowing an action against it to proceed anonymously. So ORDERED by Chief Judge James E. Boasberg on 5/5/2025. (lcjeb4)
