127 T.C. No. 6
UNITED STATES TAX COURT
ANONYMOUS, Petitioner v.
COMMISSIONER OF INTERNAL REVENUE, Respondent
Docket No. 7199-06. Filed September 6, 2006.
P is a foreign national. A member of P’s family was
kidnapped several years ago and held for ransom. P filed a
motion to seal the record because P fears that P or other
family members might be targeted for another kidnapping if
information about P’s identity or financial circumstances
were publicly disclosed.
Held: The significant risk of physical harm to P and
P’s family outweighs the public interest in access to court
proceedings under these circumstances. P’s motion to seal
the record shall be granted, and P is permitted to proceed
anonymously.
Sealed, for petitioner.
Sealed, for respondent.
