[Part VI.] ANONYMOUS FILINGS
[§634‑71] Anonymous
filings. (a) Upon petition to a court under this section, the court may
allow a petition, complaint, motion, or other document to be filed by a party
identifying the parties as "jane doe" or "john doe";
provided that when deciding to permit a "jane doe" or "john
doe" filing, the court may consider factors including:
(1) The severity of the petitioner's injury;
(2) The reasonableness of the petitioner's fears of
reprisal;
(3) The petitioner's vulnerability to retaliation
from the action;
(4) The risk of prejudice to the other party; and
(5) Whether the public interest would be served by
allowing the petitioner to remain anonymous.
(b) If there are compelling reasons sufficient
to outweigh the public interest in the disclosure of the parties and it is the
belief of the court that the parties' court files may become a vehicle for
improper use if not made anonymous, the court may seal from the public all
documents or portions of documents, including all subsequently filed documents,
that would identify the parties or contain sufficient information from which
the parties' identity could be discerned or inferred. [L 2011, c 225, §1]
