ORDER RECAPTIONING CASE

I. INTRODUCTION

On May 16, 2024, Plaintiff filed a document titled “Notice of New/Name Address, 

Motion for Appointment of Counsel, Motion In Re Settlement Conference.” (Doc. 71.) On June 

3, 2024, the Court issued its order denying the appointment of counsel and denying the motion for 

a settlement conference. (Doc. 75.) The Court now addresses Plaintiff’s name change. 

II. DISCUSSION

Plaintiff’s notice states: “Plaintiff, as a part of her transition from Male to Female has 

legally changed her name and gender. Her new name is: ‘Aerith Natalia Asora.’” (Doc. 71 at 1.) 

A search of the California Incarcerated Records and Information Search (CIRIS) tool 

reveals that the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation recognizes Plaintiff’s 

name change to Aerith Natalia Asora. (https://apps.cdcr.ca.gov/ciris/results?lastName=asora, as
