MINUTE ORDER (paperless) GRANTING #9 Plaintiff Madeline Krasno's Motion for Permission to Omit Home Address from Caption ("Pl.'s Mot."). Generally, "[t]he first filing by or on behalf of a party shall have in the caption the. . . full residence address of the party," and "[f]ailure to provide the address information within 30 days of filing may result in the dismissal of the case against the defendant." LCvR 5.1(c)(1). Courts apply the factors identified in United States v. Hubbard, 650 F.2d 293 (D.C. Cir. 1980), to determine when a party's privacy interests are sufficiently weighty to overcome the general presumption in favor of public access to information concerning judicial proceedings. Here, an evaluation of all the Hubbard factors supports granting plaintiff's request. Plaintiff notes that as a component of her advocacy work on controversial topics concerning animal testing, she must maintain a robust social media presence. Pl.'s Mot. at 2. In this capacity, she has already experienced unwanted harassment and attention unconnected to the subject matter of her advocacy, and reasonably fears that "her safety will be at risk due to potential trolls and stalkers" should her home address become a matter of public record. Id. Further, plaintiff convincingly explains the lack of prejudice to the government defendants in this case of omitting her home address, as well as the lack of public interest in her home address with respect to this litigation. See id. at 3. Under these circumstances, sufficient cause exists to grant plaintiff's request to omit her home address from filings with this Court. Signed by Chief Judge Beryl A. Howell on September 14, 2021. (lcbah3)
