The document is a memorandum and order from the New York Supreme Court, Appellate Division, regarding the case of Earl William Golden III, a transgender individual seeking to change his name to Elisabeth Whitney Golden. The court reversed a previous dismissal of the name change application by the Supreme Court, emphasizing that individuals have the right to change their names unless there is evidence of fraud or interference with others' rights. The court found that potential confusion alone is not sufficient grounds to deny a name change request and ordered the Supreme Court to grant the application.
