D. Utah DUCivR 10-2

(a) Motion and Notice.

(1) Motion. If a party seeks to proceed under a pseudonym, the party must

contemporaneously file:

(A) a Motion to Proceed Under a Pseudonym, which uses the

pseudonym and includes the justification for the use of a

pseudonym under applicable law; and

(B) under seal, a Notice of Intention to Proceed Under a Pseudonym –

Full Names, which includes the full name of each party seeking

protection.

(2) Exception. Compliance with section 10-2(a)(1) is not required if a party is

proceeding under Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(a)(3). However, the party must file

under seal a Notice of Full Names – Minor, which includes the full name of

each minor, deceased or living. The notice is required to allow the court to

conduct a conflict check.

(b) Age of Majority.

Compliance with section 10-2(a)(1) is required if a party is the age of majority but

was a minor at the time of claim accrual and wants to proceed pseudonymously.

(c) Timing of Filing the Motion and Notice.

(1) If the case originates in this court, then the party must file the motion and

notice contemporaneously with the case-initiating document.

(2) If a case is removed or transferred to this court, and the originating court

has not entered an order authorizing the use of pseudonyms, then the

pseudonymous party must follow section 10-2(a) within 3 days after the

removal or transfer.

(d) Service and Objection.

The pseudonymous party must serve a copy of the motion and notice on each

opposing party within 3 days after an opposing party’s appearance. The opposing

party must file any objection within 7 days after service of the motion and notice

or 7 days after a motion is granted, whichever is longer. If a party appears after

the motion has been granted, the party may file a motion to vacate the order

within 7 days after the party’s first appearance.

(e) Resolution of Motion.

The court may grant the motion without waiting for a response if good cause has

been established. If the motion is denied or a previously granted motion is

vacated, the party must file the case-initiating document using the full name of

each party within 7 days after the denial or the case may be dismissed for lack of

jurisdiction.
