SUMMARY AS INTRODUCED:

Anonymous plaintiff. Provides that any party can move for an order concerning the propriety of anonymous participation in a proceeding and lists the factors that the court is to consider in determining whether anonymity can be maintained. The issue may be raised at any stage of the litigation when circumstances warrant a reconsideration of the issue. If the court orders identification, the pleadings and dockets will be amended to reflect the true name back to date of filing. This bill is a recommendation of the Boyd-Graves Conference.
