Nat'l Commodity & Barter Ass'n, Nat'l Commodity Exch. v. Gibbs, 886 F.2d 1240, 1245 (10th Cir. 1989). Within fourteen days, Plaintiffs must either file an amended complaint under their full names, or file a motion for leave to proceed under initials. If they do not comply, this case may be dismissed for lack of jurisdiction. Signed by Magistrate Judge Daphne A. Oberg on 8/5/2025. No attached document (med)
