ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO SINGLETON SCHREIBER 1 The Court, having considered Plaintiff’s Motion to Proceed Under Pseudonym and the authorities and evidence presented therein, and good cause appearing, hereby finds: 1. Plaintiff is a survivor of sex trafficking as defined under the Trafficking Victims Protection Reauthorization Act (“TVPRA”), 18 U.S.C. § 1591 et seq.

2. Plaintiff alleges that she was subjected to threats, coercion, physical force, and intimidation in connection with her trafficking, and reasonably fears retaliation, harassment, or even re-capture or harm by her traffickers should her identity become public.

3. The subject matter of this litigation involves deeply personal, sensitive, and traumatic experiences, the disclosure of which could subject Plaintiff to severe emotional distress, social stigma, or physical danger.

14 4. Courts have routinely recognized the importance of protecting trafficking and sexual assault survivors by permitting them to proceed anonymously in similar circumstances. See Does I thru XXIII v. Advanced Textile Corp., 214 F.3d 1058 (9th Cir. 2000); B.M. v. Wyndham Hotels & Resorts, Inc., 2020 WL 4368214 (N.D. Cal. July 30, 2020); M.L. v. Craigslist, 2020 WL 8639345 (W.D. Wash. July 8, 2020).

20 5. Plaintiff’s interest in avoiding retaliation, public humiliation, and emotional trauma outweighs the public’s interest in open judicial proceedings at this stage.

6. Proceeding under a pseudonym will not prejudice the Defendant, whose counsel may obtain Plaintiff’s identity pursuant to a protective order.

25 IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT: ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFF’S MOTION TO SINGLETON SCHREIBER 1 1. Plaintiff shall be permitted to proceed under the pseudonym “JANE DOE” in | all publicly filed documents and proceedings in this action.
