From yesterday’s opinion, in a case previously known Aarpv. Trumpbut now WMM v. Trump:
AARP, a nonprofit with no relation to the case, has changed the pseudonym of petitioner AARP to ARP in search of leave to intervene, and captioned the case with a ” WMM, others v. Donald J. Trump, et al. The petitioner and respondent do not oppose the AARP claim…
The court will interpret any claims intervening as an agreement by existing parties to amend the styling of the case caption. The court therefore amends any previous order that allows the petitioner to proceed under the pseudonym and order that he is permitted to proceed under the pseudonym ARP, WMM and FGM. [not to be confused with FGM -EV]. Additionally, the court orders that this case will continue with the case caption in the future. WMM, others v. Donald J. Trump, others.
Well, that clears it! The heart of discussion in the movement itself is as follows:
Naturally, the lawsuit has already attracted attention from the press and social media. That certainly will continue to do so. AARP is concerned that the nomenclature adopted by the caption in this case will cause major confusion among journalists and the public. Certainly, 72 hours after the lawsuit was filed, numerous false enquiries have already occurred to AARP. Both ACLU and AARP are prominent advocacy organizations for federal government policy, albeit in very different domains.
For more details about the question What kind of pseudonyms is there?look This article;When I was writing it, I was not thinking about the issue of the litigator’s initials and organizational name, but here is the related issue 1996 Ninth Circuit Incident:
The plaintiffs in this case were previously ordered “James Lowe, Jane Lowe and John Doe.” One of many people named “James Lowe” wrote to the court while the appeal was pending, saying his reputation was hurt by newspaper stories about the appeal. It is desirable for lawyers and courts to avoid harm to the real person’s reputation by using traditional references of pseudonyms.
Thank you to Paul Alan Levy for giving us the pointer.
