ORDER (Clerk) Because the appellee proceeded under his initials in the district court, this appeal has been docketed using the appellee’s initials. See Fed. R. App. P. 12(a) (requiring circuit clerk to docket appeal under title of district-court action). If the appellee wishes to continue proceeding under his initials, the appellee must file a motion asking this Court for that relief within fourteen (14) days of this order. While the appellee is proceeding under his initials, the parties’ filings and CM/ECF docket entries should not use the appellee’s full name. If the parties need to file documents containing the appellee’s full name or other personally identifiable information, they should consider seeking the Court’s permission to file those documents under seal. Answer due 08/27/2026. (AMR) [Entered: 08/13/2026 04:53 PM]
