MINUTE ORDER IN CHAMBERS of the Honorable Judge Richard F. Boulware, II on 10/8/2025.Pending before the Court is Petitioner's 3 Motion for Protective Order, in which he seeks leave to proceed under a pseudonym and to seal documents containing his personally identifiable information, based on concerns about retaliatory harm if information related to his identity and asylum application is accessible to the general public. Respondents have not opposed or objected to Petitioner's Motion.In the Ninth Circuit "a party may preserve his or her anonymity in judicial proceedings in special circumstances when the party's need for anonymity outweighs prejudice to the opposing party and the public's interest in knowing the party's identity." Does I thru XXIII v. Advanced Textile Corp., 214 F.3d 1058, 1068 (9th Cir. 2000). Having considered the relevant factors, and the fact that Respondents do not object to Petitioner proceeding anonymously, the Court finds Petitioner's need for anonymity outweighs the public interest in knowing his identity. The Court will therefore grant the Motion and unseal this case, while maintaining the seal of all filings that contain Petitioner's personally identifiable information.Therefore, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Petitioner's 3 Motion is GRANTED.IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is instructed to: (1) SUBSTITUTE Petitioner's full name with the pseudonym E.C. on the docket, including the docket text of each of Petitioner's fillings, and on the case caption;(2) UNSEAL this case, with the following documents to REMAIN UNDER SEAL: 1. ECF No. 1; 2. ECF No. 2;3. ECF No. 3;4. ECF No. 4-1 (EXHIBITS ONLY); 5. ECF No. 13-1 and 13-2 (EXHIBITS ONLY). IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that on or before October 15, 2025 Petitioner must REFILE the 1 Petition with Petitioner's full name substituted with his pseudonym, and any personally identifiable information REDACTED. IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the parties are granted leave and ordered to file all documents using the pseudonym E.C. and all documents containing Petitioner's personally identifiable information with REDACTIONS or UNDER SEAL if redactions are not feasible. Where documents are filed with redactions, the parties shall file an unredacted version for the Court's review UNDER SEAL.(Copies have been distributed pursuant to the NEF - IML) Modified on 10/8/2025 to regenerate NEF after case unsealing.
