UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

JANE DOE 1, Plaintiff, No. 25-CV-2108 (RA) ORDER TAL ALEXANDER, Defendant.

RONNIE ABRAMS, United States District Judge: The Complaint in this case was filed in state court under a pseudonym with leave of that court. See ECF No. 1-1 at 18. Now that Defendant has removed the action to this Court, it is governed by federal procedural rules, see Smith v. Bayer Corp., 564 U.S. 299, 304 n.2 (2011), which require that “[t]he title of the complaint must name all the parties,” Fed. R. Civ. P. 10(a). Accordingly, Plaintiffs may not proceed pseudonymously unless they first seek and receive permission to do so. See Sealed Plaintiff v. Sealed Defendant, 537 F.3d 185, 189 (2d Cir. 2008). If Plaintiff does not file such a motion by March 28, 2025, the Court will dismiss the Complaint. SO ORDERED.
