MINUTE ORDER: This matter is before the Court on the 5 Petitioner's Unopposed Motion to Restrict Public Access and 6 Petitioner's Unopposed Motion for Leave to Proceed Under Pseudonym. Finding good cause, the Motion to Restrict is GRANTED. The Clerk of Court shall maintain [Doc. 2] under Level 1 Restriction absent further order of the Court. In addition, the Motion to Proceed Under Pseudonym is GRANTED. "Because the general rule is that lawsuits are to be public, a plaintiff should be allowed to proceed anonymously 'only in those exceptional cases involving matters of a highly sensitive and personal nature, real danger or physical harm, or where the injury litigated against would be incurred as a result of the disclosure of the plaintiff's identity.'" Doe v. Regents of Univ. of Colorado, 603 F. Supp. 3d 1014, 101819 (D. Colo. 2022) (quoting M.M. v. Zavaras, 139 F.3d 798, 803 (10th Cir. 1998)). The Court must also "weigh the public interest in determining whether some form of anonymity is warranted." Femedeer v. Haun, 227 F.3d 1244, 1246 (10th Cir. 2000). The Court has considered the applicable case law and the arguments raised in Petitioner's unopposed Motion and finds good cause to permit her to proceed using a pseudonym in this case. While the public undoubtedly has an interest in access to legal proceedings, that interest does not outweigh the exceptional circumstances of this case, which implicates matters of a highly sensitive and personal nature and presents a real danger of physical harm if Petitioner's identity were disclosed. Accordingly, Petitioner may proceed in this case using her initials. By Judge Nina Y. Wang on 03/17/2026. Text Only Entry(nywlc2, ) (Entered: 03/17/2026)

MINUTE ORDER: This matter is before the Court on the 21 Joint Status Report. The Parties agree that no further proceedings in this case are required. Because Petitioner received the relief to which she is entitled on her constitutional claims, see [Doc. 19 ], her remaining APA claim is DENIED as moot. Accordingly, the Clerk of Court is DIRECTED to enter final judgment and terminate this case. Petitioner is awarded her costs pursuant to D.C.COLO.LCivR 54.1. To the extent Petitioner seeks attorney's fees, [Doc. 1 at 49], she must file a separate motion for fees that complies with the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the Local Rules of Practice for this District, see Daley v. Ceja, 158 F.4th 1152, 1155, 1162 (10th Cir. 2025); 28 U.S.C. § 2412(a)(1). By Judge Nina Y. Wang on 4/23/2026. Text Only Entry (nywlc8, ) (Entered: 04/23/2026)
