would place his personal safety at risk, the court shall not require the applicant to comply with
the provisions of subsection 1 and shall order the records concerning the petition and any
proceedings concerning the petition to be sealed and to be opened for inspection only upon an
order of the court for good cause shown or upon the request of the applicant.
