MINUTE ORDER by Judge Philip A. Brimmer on 5/13/2026. This matter is before the Court on petitioner M.S.M.'s Petition for Writ of Habeas Corpus and Unopposed Motion to Proceed Using Initials. Docket Nos. 1, 2 . Petitioner shall, by overnight mail and email, serve respondents with a copy of the petition and this order on or before May 15, 2026. Petitioner shall file proof of service. Within seven days of service, respondents shall show cause why the petition for writ of habeas corpus should not be granted. See 28 U.S.C. § 2243 ("The writ, or order to show cause shall be directed to the person having custody of the person detained. It shall be returned within three days unless for good cause additional time, not exceeding twenty days, is allowed."). Petitioner may file a reply within seven days of respondents filing their response. "[T]he Federal Rules of Civil Procedure mandate that all pleadings contain the name of the parties, see Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a), and Rule 17(a) specifically states that '[e]very action shall be prosecuted in the name of the real party in interest.'" Femedeer v. Haun, 227 F.3d 1244, 1246 (10th Cir. 2000) (quoting Fed. R. Civ. P. 17(a)). However, the Tenth Circuit has recognized three "exceptional" circumstances permitting a party to proceed under a pseudonym: (1) "cases involving matters of a highly sensitive and personal nature," (2) cases involving a "real danger of physical harm," and (3) "where the injury litigated against would be incurred as a result of the disclosure of the plaintiff's identity." Id. (quoting Doe v. Frank, 951 F.2d 320, 324 (11th Cir. 1992)). In petitioner's motion to proceed using his initials, he states that his "habeas contains detailed information concerning M.S.M.'s claim for relief," but does not explain why his case constitutes an "exceptional" circumstance. See Docket No. 2 at 2. Accordingly, on or before May 20, 2026, petitioner may file a supplement to his motion, filed under restriction, that explains why he should be permitted to identify himself only by his initials.
