OPINION OF THE COURT
Debra Rose Samuels, J.
Petitioner, who is 50 years old, was born anatomically male and was given a traditionally masculine name, which remains petitioner’s legal name to this day. Petitioner’s Pennsylvania birth certificate identifies petitioner as male. Petitioner is married to a woman.
On March 27, 2002, petitioner applied to the court pro se, pursuant to Civil Rights Law § 60, for leave to assume a new name, stating that the change of first name was intended to help implement a sex change, while the change of last name was intended to alleviate employment discrimination.
