Plaintiff's Motion for Leave to File Under Pseudonym is DENIED without prejudice. Plaintiff failed to support the motion with sufficient facts and evidence establishing an overriding interest that overcomes the right of public access to court records, and a substantial probability that interest will be prejudiced if a pseudonym is not used. Conclusory fears of reputational and economic injury do not outweigh the public's substantial and presumptive interest in disclosure. (Roe v. Smith (2025) 116 Cal.App.5th 227, 244.) =(501/CFH)
