Filing Under a Pseudonym
Caselaw
Reported caselaw from Nebrasksa with Doe plaintiffs is very thin, and contains no discussion of a rule for proceeding pseudonymously. Analogy could be made to the underlying claims and harm to Doe if identity revealed.
- Doe v. Golnick, 251 Neb. 184, 556 N.W.2d 20 (Neb. 1996) – Jane Doe is a patient of Defendant; they have a sexual relationship and Doe sues for medical malpractice, inter alia. No discussion of pseudonym.
