Reading Ch J Kathleen (“TBS = The Big Shillelagh”) Kerrigan’s latest order in “James Lindor,” Docket No. 217-23P, filed 8/8/24, wherein she ships “James” back to CSTJ Lewis (“His Real Name”) Carluzzo to dispose of IRS’ motion to toss  “James'” petition as moot, brought back memories.

I recall a younger, slimmer me, clad in olive-green in a distant suburb of Columbia, SC, crawling under barbed wire, trying to keep the sand out of my M-14, while an M-60 threw 7.62 ball a yard over my head. Forsan et hæc olim meminisse iuvabit? Seated as I am in my comfy livingroom on this Minor Outlying Island off the Coast of North America, I can employ the local argot: Fuggedaboutit!

“James Lindor” has retained his assumed name. Though CSTJ Lew said he’d unmask “James” if he didn’t make a Rule 27 motion to seal, a brief docket search doesn’t reveal such a motion, and today’s order from Ch J TBS doesn’t mention seals.

So, one might conclude that, notwithstanding CSTJ Lew’s Order, more particularly bounded and described in my blogpost “Call Me By My Rightful Name,” 7/1/24, “James Lindor” has managed to crawl under the wire, unknown, unmarked.

Is this the new tactic for those seeking to crawl under the wire of Section 7461, Willie Nelson Music, and Rule 23(a) to anonymity?
