Smith et al. v. Annucci et al.
1:21-cv-01715-RA [rel. 1:17-cv-07954-RA-OTW]
Dear Magistrate Judge Wang:
I write on behalf of Plaintiffs in the above-captioned matter. On July 9,
2021, Plaintiff Doe moved for leave to proceed anonymously and to maintain the
confidentiality of certain Defendants identified by pseudonyms in the publicly filed
Amended Complaint. (ECF No. 82.) The Court granted Plaintiffs’ motion today (ECF
No. 84), and Plaintiffs filed a redacted version of the Amended Complaint, previously
filed as Exhibit C to Plaintiffs’ July 9, 2021 motion, as its own entry on the case docket
(ECF No. 85).
For the same reasons set forth in Plaintiff Doe’s motion to proceed
anonymously, Plaintiffs respectfully request permission for the Clerk to issue a
supplemental summons for the newly joined anonymous Defendant, “Officer E”, with his
true name, under seal.
Respectfully,

David M. Stuart
The Honorable Ona T. Wang
United States District Court for the Southern District of New York
