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

18

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

19

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

20

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

21

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

22

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

23

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

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

3

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

4

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

5

consideration and it is ordered into effect.
