Case No.: 1:16-cv-00376 DAD JLT
ORDER TO THE PARTIES TO SHOW CAUSE
WHY THE DOCKET SHOULD NOT BE
UPDATED TO REFLECT THE PLAINTIFF’S
TRUE NAME

When the matter was filed, the plaintiff was a minor. She has since reached the age or

18

majority and, at her request, the Court has relieved the guardian ad litem of his obligations in this

19

case. (Doc. 47) It appears that the matter need not continue with the plaintiff’s identity masked on

20

the docket or in filings. Thus, the Court ORDERS:

21

1.

No later than February 23, 2018, the parties SHALL show cause in writing why

22

the matter should not proceed with M.M.’s true name listed on the docket and on all future filings.

23

In the event plaintiff agrees her full name should now be used, she SHALL provide her full name

24

in her response.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
