ORDER granting in part and denying in part 4 Motion re: 4 MOTION Proceed under Pseudonym and to Issue a Protective Order . On April 16, 2024, Plaintiff in this case filed a motion seeking an order (1) authorizing him to file the Complaint, summons, and civil cover sheet in this action using the pseudonym John Doe, and to file all other papers in this action under the name John Doe, and to identify other non-parties by pseudonym; and (2) prohibiting Defendants from publicly identifying Plaintiff, in court filings or otherwise. That motion is DENIED as to non-parties, albeit without prejudice to a future application in the event that either party believes that there is a need or basis to prevent disclosure of the identity of any specific non-party. The motion is otherwise GRANTED, but only temporarily. Defendant and any non-party who seeks, and is granted, leave to intervene for purposes of being heard on the issue shall file any opposition to the motion within two weeks of Defendants entering a notice of appearance; any reply shall be filed within one week of any opposition. In the meantime, the Court reserves judgment on whether to grant the motion on a more permanent basis. Finally, to ensure that the Court has no conflicts that would require recusal, Plaintiff shall promptly file, under seal, a declaration disclosing his identity to the Court. The Clerk of Court is directed to issue a summons and to terminate ECF No. 4. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 4/22/2024) (jca) (Entered: 04/22/2024)

ORDER. Counsel are reminded that, per the Court's earlier Scheduling Order, they must submit their proposed case management plan and joint letter by the Thursday prior to the upcoming conference. The parties should indicate in their joint letter whether they can do without a conference altogether. If so, the Court may enter a case management plan and scheduling order and the parties need not appear. If not (or if the Court concludes that, the parties' views notwithstanding, a conference should be held), the Court will hold the initial conference by telephone, albeit perhaps at a different time. To that end, counsel should indicate in their joint letter dates and times during the week of the conference that they would be available for a telephone conference. Unless and until the Court orders otherwise, however, the conference will proceed and will do so on the date and time previously set. In the event a conference is held, the parties should join it by calling the Court's dedicated conference line at (888) 363-4749 and using access code 542-1540, followed by the pound (#) key. SO ORDERED. (Signed by Judge Jesse M. Furman on 7/15/24) (yv) (Entered: 07/15/2024)
