GOOD CAUSE APPEARING THEREFOR 

IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED AND DECREED that Plaintiffs' Motion to 

Seal Portions of the Court's Record is GRANTED. In so making the order, the Court expressly 

finds that due to the sensitive nature of the facts giving rise to this action: 

(l) There exists an overriding interest that overcomes the right of public 

access to the record; 

(2) The overriding interest supports sealing the record to protect the identities 

of both Plaintiffs; 

(3) A substantial probability exists that the overriding interest will be 

prejudiced if the record is not sealed, because the identities of the 

Plaintiffs would be accessible to all persons; 

(4) The proposed sealing is narrowly tailored because it only seeks to prevent 

disclosure of the Plaintiffs' identities, by sealing the Motion to Proceed 

Anonymously as ''JANE DOE l" and "JANE DOE 2" Plaintiffs, and its 

supporting papers and Order, and any hearing transcript or record from 

these motions and any identifying information; 

and 

(5) No less restrictive means exist to achieve the overriding interest because

there is no other way to prevent disclosure of Plaintiffs' identities. 

No person other than the Court is authorized to inspect the sealed record. 

Plaintiffs' Motion to Proceed Anonymously As "JANE DOE" And "JOHN DOE" 

Plaintiffs, the Notice of Motion, Memorandum of Points and Authorities, and Declaration of 

Nancy Hersh are hereby ordered sealed. A redacted copy is to remain on file. The Order need 

not be placed under seal as it does not contain information protected by this Order. 

Any documents filed, or to be filed in the future, that contain the Plaintiffs' identities or 

identifYing inforniation are hereby ordered sealed. A redacted copy of any such document is to 

remain in the public file. 

THIS ORDER IS ORDERED UNDER SEAL, AS IT CONTAINS INFORMATION 

THATIS SUBJECT TO SEAL. 

These documents may not be unsealed, except as Ordered by the Court, in compliance 

with Civil Local Rules. 

The Clerk of Court is hereby directed to replace the cover sheet indicating that the 

documents are "CONDITIONALLY UNDER SEAL" with a file-endorsed cover sheet 

prominently labeled" "SEALED BY ORDER OF THE COURT ON [DATE TillS ORDER IS 

SIGNED]." 

IT IS SO ORDERED
