 The 9th circuit has ruled for anonymous speakers several times.
See, e.g., Am. Civil Liberties Union of Nev. v. Heller, 378 F.3d 979 (9th Cir. 2004); Berger v. City of Seattle, 569 F.3d 1029 (9th Cir. 2009) (en banc); In re Anonymous Online Speakers, 661 F.3d 1168 (9th Cir. 2011); Rosen v. Port of Portland, 941 F.2d 989 (9th Cir. 1991); but see Yamada v.
