PATRICK COLLINS, INC., Plaintiff, v. JOHN DOES 1-10, Defendants.
MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty , United States Magistrate Judge, on July 13, 2012.
Pending before the Court is a "Motion of Disjoinder, Motion to Quash or Modify" [filed July 11, 2012; docket #12] filed by an unidentified Doe Defendant (hereinafter "Defendant"). The Motion is denied without prejudice for failure to comply with Fed. R. Civ. P. 11(a), which states in pertinent part,
Every pleading, written motion, and other paper must be signed by at least one attorney of record in the attorney's name - or by a party personally if the party is unrepresented. The paper must state the signer's address, email address, and telephone number.The Court acknowledges Defendant's request to proceed anonymously, as revealing his identity may effectively moot the motion to quash. At the same time, the logistics of litigation necessitate that a movant disclose his contact information to the Court. See D.C. Colo. LCivR 10.1K. Therefore, if Defendant wishes to re-file his motion in accordance with this order and all applicable local and federal court rules, he must first (or contemporaneously) file a motion to proceed anonymously and provide to the Court his name, address, telephone number and email address in accordance with Rule 11(a) and D.C. Colo. LCivR 10.1K. If Defendant wishes to keep his identifying information confidential, Defendant may file his Signature Block separately, and may request that the document be maintained under Restriction Level 2 pursuant to the procedure set forth in D.C. Colo. LCivR 7.2. The Court 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.
