This document is a legal motion filed on November 8, 2019, in the Southern District of New York, requesting that Plaintiff 'Jane Doe 17' be allowed to proceed anonymously in her lawsuit against the Estate of Jeffrey Epstein and associated entities. The motion argues that the sensitive nature of the sexual assault allegations, the risk of retaliation due to Epstein's wealth and connections, and the lack of public interest in her specific identity outweigh the presumption of open proceedings. Attached as Exhibit A is a September 11, 2019 Order from Judge P. Kevin Castel in a similar case (Katlyn Doe v. Indyke), which granted anonymity under nearly identical circumstances.
