MINUTES (IN CHAMBERS) Order Re: Renewed Petition to Use Pseudonyms for the Minor Plaintiffs and for Extension of Time to Confirm Appropriate Guardians ad Litem (ECF 13) by Magistrate Judge Brianna Fuller Mircheff. On September 3, 2024, Plaintiffs filed a "Supplemental" statement to their Petition, which the Court construes as a new request to proceed by use of John Doe designations for the minor Plaintiffs. (ECF 13.) Based on the foregoing, the Court determines that Plaintiffs' renewed Petition is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. In an abundance of caution, however, given the lack of clarity in Plaintiffs' position and the real concerns identified above, the Court will give Plaintiffs one last chance to address the point. NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 16, 2024, Plaintiffs must do one of two things: SEE ORDER FOR DETAILS. Plaintiffs' request for an extension of time to confirm appropriate representatives of the minor Plaintiffs is GRANTED. NO LATER THAN SEPTEMBER 16, 2024, Plaintiffs may file a renewed Petition for appointment of next friend/guardian ad litem for the minor Plaintiffs.IT IS SO ORDERED. SEE ORDER FOR DETAILS. (ch) |
