MALIBU MEDIA, LLC, Plaintiff, v. JOHN DOES 1-15, Defendants.


MINUTE ORDER

Entered by Michael E. Hegarty , United States Magistrate Judge, on June 25, 2012.

Defendant Doe #8's Motion to Quash, Sever Defendants 2-16 and/or for Protective Order [filed June 15, 2012; docket #24] is denied without prejudice for failure to seek permission from the Court to proceed anonymously. See K-Beech, Inc. v. Does 1-29, 826 F. Supp. 2d 903, 905 (W.D.N.C. 2011) (noting that a party who wishes to proceed anonymously may overcome the presumption against anonymous proceedings by filing a well-reasoned motion to proceed anonymously); see also West Coast Prods., Inc. v. Does 1-5829, 275 F.R.D. 9, 12 (D.D.C. 2011) ("federal courts generally allow parties to proceed anonymously only under certain special circumstances when anonymity is necessary to protect a person from harassment, injury, ridicule or personal embarrassment"). If the Defendant John Doe cited herein wishes to re-file his motion in accordance with this order and all applicable local and federal court rules, he may do so on or before July 9, 2012 and must first (or contemporaneously) file a motion to proceed anonymously. The Court warns the parties that it may strike any motion or other filing that deviates from the requirements of this order or from those set forth in the applicable local or federal rules.
