order Order on Motion for Miscellaneous Relief Set/Reset Deadlines Wed 01/29 4:44 PM
MINUTE ORDER: The Court ORDERS that: 1) Plaintiffs'2 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, Plaintiffs 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 they wish to proceed under their true names, and, if so, they shall also file their2 Motion on the public docket; and 3) If Plaintiffs do 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 1/29/2025. (lcjeb4)
