PERRY-BOND PART 35 Justice ______________________________________________Ç JANEDOE, INDEXNO. 161704/2026 Plaintiff, - v - CORNELLUNIVERSITY, INC.,CHI PHI CHAPTERHOUSE Sua Sponte Decision and Order ASSOCIATION, CHI PHI FRATERNITY, INC.,CHI PHI Directing Sealing of Certain EDUCATIONALTRUST, ALPHABETAHOUSE Documents CORPORATIONOFDELTADELTADELTA, DELTADELTA DELTASORORITY, ZAREENENTERPRISE LLC,MATTHEWINGALLS, JOHNATHANNEWELL, WINSTONLEE, GILLIO LOPES, DIEGOSARABIA, SCOTT NORRIS, SCOTTKRETZSCHMAR,JOHNDOE, JOHN DOE, JOHNDOES, and ORAZIOPETITO, Defendants. ______________________________________________Ç The Court, on its own motion, sua sponte directs the County Clerk to seal NYSCEFDoes. 1, 6, 7, and 22, which contain the parties' purported addresses, and in the case of NYSCEFDoc. 6, erroneously listed a non-party's address. Once those documents are sealed, plaintiff is directed to refile redacted versions of those documents omitting the parties' addresses. Ordinarily, the Court does not sua sponte seal public documents due to the presumption of openness in civil litigation. However, the extraordinary events which have followed the filing of this action warrant this relief. The First Department has held that trial courts must exercise their discretion to limit the public nature of proceedings sparingly, and only when unusual circumstances so require (Anonymous v Anonymous, 27 AD3d356, 361 [1st Dept 2006]). That is because court dockets are presumptively open to the public. The presumption of openness exists for several reasons: it is believed that open proceedings are a disinfectant against injustice, incompetence, perjury, and Pan 1 oM FILED: NEW YORK COUNTY CLERK 10/09/2026 12:13 PM INDEX NO. 161704/2026 NYSCEF DOC.

Thus, when considering whether to seal certain documents, the Court must "use its discretion in balancing [parties'] privacy interest[s] against the presumption in favor of open trials." (Anonymous v Lerner, 124 AD3d487 [1st Dept 2015]). In this case, unusual circumstances certainly require sealing certain documents, including a request for judicial intervention filed by the plaintiff, in which a purportedly erroneous address has been included leading a non-party's family to be threatened and doxed.1 This Court strongly condemns the reported acts of threats and doxing, which can only be characterized as brash, reckless, and ultimately dangerous internet vigilantism. Our society has developed procedures and legal mechanisms over the course of centuries to ensure justice and due process are afforded to all. Whencertain actors decide to work outside those robust and developed frameworks, innocent people often get hurt. That is precisely what has happened here. Certain "vigilantes" have used an erroneous address to inundate a former marine and his family with threats, simply because of a name shared with a defendant in this case. That behavior must cease immediately, is completely unacceptable, and provides more than ample cause to seal certain documents on this Court's docket. The Court takes the complaint's allegations extremely seriously and appreciates attorneys' zealous advocacy on behalf of all parties. However, everyone involved, be it the public, parties, or their attorneys, needs to do their part in bringing the temperature down before someonegets hurt. This Court holds the rule of law and due process sacrosanct and deeply appreciates that public debate on pertinent issues is a quintessential cornerstone of our democracy. However, public debate should never become so heated that people engage in misguided vigilantism to the point 1 Doxing is the publishing of private or identifying information about a particular individual on the internet, typically with malicious intent.

In that situation, which is the point we are reaching here, the legal processes we as a society subscribe to are impeded. Therefore, the Court sua sponte directs the County Clerk to seal NYSCEFDocs. 1, 6-7 and 22 as those documents contain personal identifying information of parties and non-parties which have been used by certain observers to maliciously threaten and intimidate.2 Accordingly, it is hereby, ORDERED that the Court sua sponte seals seal NYSCEFDoes. 1, 6-7 and 22 in accordance with the accompanying sealing order; and it is further ORDERED that plaintiff is directed to re-file redacted versions of NYSCEFDoes. 1, 6-7 and 22 with the parties' purported addresses redacted from those documents; and it is further ORDERED that upon notice of entry of this decision and order and the accompanying sealing order, the County Clerk shall immediately seal NYSCEFDoes. 1, 6-7 and 22.
