Defendants.

MINUTE ORDER
Entered by Michael E. Hegarty, United States Magistrate Judge, on November 29, 2012.
Defendant Doe #41's Unopposed Motion to Maintain Records Under Seal and for Entry of
Protective Order to Maintain and Preserve Doe 41's Anonymity [filed November 27, 2012; docket
#86] is granted in part and denied in part as follows. Upon review of the docket, the Court
observes only one restricted document filed by Doe #41. The Clerk of the Court is directed to
maintain this document [docket #26-1] under seal at Restriction Level 1 during the pendency and
following the closure of this action.
With respect to Doe #41's request to remain anonymous in any subsequent action filed by
Plaintiff, such request is improper. In the event Plaintiff files another lawsuit against Doe #41, Doe
#41's ability to proceed anonymously will be left to the discretion of the judge presiding over that
litigation. The Court declines to retain continuing jurisdiction over this action, and the Court will
not enter any protective order to that effect.
