Judge Denies Plaintiff's Motion For Pseudonymity
On Feb. 2 Judge Allison Burroughs denied the plaintiff's motion to proceed under a pseudonym in Doe v. President & Fellows of Harvard College, finding the presumption of open judicial proceedings and the plaintiff's harms uncorroborated. The court ruled alleged ethnic, academic, professional, and financial harms were speculative, recommending redaction or sealing as less restrictive privacy tools. The plaintiff later filed for reconsideration.
