UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK

UNIFIED UNITED STATES COMMON LAW GRAND JURY, et al., Plaintiffs, No. 24-CV-7084 (KMK) v. ORDER OF DISMISSAL AND TO NYS Legislators, et al., SHOW CAUSE

Defendants.

KENNETH M. KARAS, United States District Judge: On September 18, 2024, Plaintiffs requested the issuance of summons to Defendants from the Clerk of Court. (See Dkt. No. 3.) On October 10, 2024, this Court issued an Order to Show Cause, ordering Plaintiff Unified United States Common Law Grand Jury (“Grand Jury”) to obtain counsel and Plaintiff Grand Jury Foreman (“Foreman”) to file a motion to proceed under a pseudonym or else to amend the complaint to include the name of Plaintiff Foreman. (See Order to Show Cause (Dkt. No. 5).) The Court warned that failure to do so would prevent summons from issuing and could lead Plaintiff Grand Jury to be dismissed from the action. The Court gave Plaintiffs until November 8, 2024 to make these corrections. Since then, no action has been taken by any Plaintiff. Because Plaintiff Grand Jury has failed to retain an attorney to represent it, it may not proceed in the litigation, and its claims are dismissed without prejudice. See Pandya v. Sec. & Exch. Comm'n, No. 23-CV-11180,

, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Jan. 12, 2024) (dismissing pro se organizational plaintiff); Pride Oleo Mexicana S.A. de C.V. v. Capstone, No. 21-CV-6743,

, at *2 (S.D.N.Y. Sept. 20, 2021) (same); Moorish Am. Nation v. United States, No. 21-CV-6396,

, at *1 (S.D.N.Y. Aug. 23, 2021) (same). Further, as noted in the Court’s previous Order, a party seeking to proceed under a pseudonym (as Plaintiff Foreman is doing in the instant case), is required to file a motion demonstrating the plaintiff’s need to do so. (See Order to Show Cause 1-2 (Dkt. No. 5).) Plaintiff Foreman is required to make such a motion, or else amend the complaint to include their

name. Otherwise, Plaintiff Foreman may be dismissed from the case. Accordingly, it is hereby: ORDERED that Plaintiffs shall amend the complaint by no later than January 3, 2025 to include the name of Plaintiff Foreman or show cause as to why Plaintiff Foreman should proceed under a pseudonym. Otherwise, Plaintiff Foreman could be dismissed from this action, and it is further ORDERED that Plaintiff Grand Jury’s claims are dismissed without prejudice. The Clerk of Court is respectfully directed to mail a copy of this Order to Plaintiffs. SO ORDERED. Dated: December 4, 2024 W hite Plains, New York
