Order on Motion for Leave to File Document

Order on Motion to Seal Document

Judge Richard G. Stearns: ELECTRONIC ORDER entered granting 42 Motion to Seal Document. Attached to plaintiffs' Opposition to Harvard's Motion to Dismiss is a declaration from a Harvard Law School student, identified with the pseudonym "SAA Member # 1." Plaintiffs move to redact SAA Member # 1's name from the public version of his declaration to "safeguard SAA members' associational privilege" and "protect SAA Member # 1's privacy interests, including his interest in being free from harassment, discrimination, and retaliation." Dkt. # 42 at 2. Because this request fits neatly into at least one of the paradigms identified by the First Circuit of "exceptional cases in which... anonymity ordinarily will be warranted," the court will allow the motion. See Doe v. Mass. Inst. of Tech. (Doe v. MIT), 46 F.4th 61, 71 (1st Cir. 2022).There is a "strong presumption against the use of pseudonyms in civil litigation." Does 1-3 v. Mills, 39 F.4th 20, 25 (1st Cir. 2022). But, in "exceptional cases," an individual may proceed pseudonymously. Doe v. MIT, 46 F.4th at 70, quoting Doe v. Megless, 654 F.3d 404, 408 (3d Cir. 2011). The First Circuit has identified four paradigm cases in which pseudonymity may be warranted: cases in which (1) the "would-be Doe reasonably fears that coming out of the shadows will cause him unusually severe harm"; (2) identifying the individual would "harm 'innocent parties'"; (3) "anonymity is necessary to forestall a chilling effect on future litigants who may be similarly situated"; and (4) the individual's identity is "bound up with a prior proceeding made confidential by law." Id. at 71-72, quoting Sealed Plaintiff v. Sealed Defendant, 537 F.3d 185, 190 (2d Cir. 2008)."[P]rivacy rights of... third parties are among those interests which, in appropriate cases, can limit the presumptive right of access to judicial records." F.T.C. v. Standard Fin. Mgm't Corp., 830 F.3d 404, 411 (1st Cir. 1987), quoting In re Knoxville News-Sentinel Co., 723 F.3d 470, 478 (6th Cir. 1983); see also Doe v. MIT, 46 F.4th at 71 (nonparties have "stronger case[s] for anonymity" than parties). And plaintiffs argue that if his identity is made public, SAA Member # 1 may face discrimination, harassment, and retaliation. Harvard does not contest the reasonableness of this fear. Thus, to protect the privacy interests of non-party SAA Member # 1, plaintiffs may redact his name from the public version of his declaration.Plaintiffs' motion is ALLOWED. Plaintiffs will file the redacted version of SAA Member # 1's declaration on the public docket by close of business on April 30, 2024. (RGS, law4) (Entered: 04/29/2024)

Harvard's motion to dismiss will be due June 18, 2024, and plaintiffs' opposition will be due July 2, 2024. Reply only with leave of court. As the parties have already briefed the legal issues, the court does not anticipate permitting extensions to this schedule. The clerk will reschedule the hearing for a date after briefing is complete. And as plaintiffs are filing a Second Amended Complaint, Harvard's pending joint motion to dismiss and strike is moot.

Depending on what, if anything, remains of this case after that ruling, the court would be inclined to entertain the motion to consolidate for at least discovery purposes. The filing deadlines for the motion to dismiss briefing and the hearing on the motion (Dkt. ## 60, 65) are unchanged, and the court does not anticipate granting any extensions.
