Case No. 1:14-cv-00776 JLT

ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF JANE 

DOE’S MOTION FOR LEAVE TO 

PROCEED ANONYMOUSLY

(Doc. 11)

ORDER VACATING HEARING

Because no defendant has appeared in this matter, the Court finds that this matter is 

amenable to decision without argument or further briefing. Moreover, the Court finds that to 

preserve Jane Doe’s identity and safety, immediate temporary orders should issue. Thus, the 

Court VACATES the hearing currently set on July 8, 2014.

Local Rule 140 vests the Court with the authority to allow personal identifiers to be 

redacted to preserve privacy interests. In this case, Jane Doe has explained significant reasons 

why her identity should remain secret. (Doc. 11)

Therefore the Court ORDERS:

1. Plaintiff Jane Doe’s request to use a pseudonym in the above-captioned case and 

to redact documents containing information that reveals her identity is GRANTED until such 

time as an appropriate protective order may be presented by the parties for the Court’s 

consideration and it is ordered into effect.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
