Defendant.

On September 19, 2012, Plaintiff brought this action before the Court alleging

17

Defendant’s responsibility for Plaintiff’s contracting the herpes simplex II virus. While

18

Plaintiff brought this suit under the generic name “Jane Doe” to protect her identity,

19

Plaintiff did not afford Defendant the same protection, and used Defendant’s full name

20

instead of a generic placeholder. Defendant has requested that his name be redacted to

21

protect his identity in this sensitive matter. (Dkt. no. 13 at 13.)

Moreover, the Court notes that Plaintiff’s full name impermissibly appears in
certain filings submitted by Defendant.
GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, the Clerk of the Court is HEREBY ORDERED to
temporarily seal all documents in this matter.

26

GOOD CAUSE APPEARING, the Clerk of the Court is FURTHER ORDERED to

27

temporarily redact Defendant’s name from this matter, substituting “Richard Roe” in its

28

stead as is necessary to protect Defendant’s identification.
