Larry Towner v. Bold Team LLC; Annie Iselin; and Tammie Hutchinson

Summary

The United States District Court for the Eastern District of Arkansas denies Larry Towner’s motion to file under seal and directs the Clerk to unseal the case and filings. The Court also denies his incomplete application to proceed in forma pauperis, giving him until February 20, 2026, to submit a completed application or pay the required fees, or face dismissal without prejudice.

Holdings

1. The motion to file under seal was properly denied because Towner did not show extraordinary circumstances warranting closure of the court's records.
2. The motion to proceed in forma pauperis was denied because the application was incomplete.

Questions Presented

1. Whether Towner established extraordinary circumstances sufficient to justify sealing the court's records.
2. Whether Towner's incomplete in forma pauperis application justified denial of his request to proceed without prepaying fees.
