ORDER UNSEALING PRIOR ORDER OF
COURT

v.
TEHACHAPI UNIFIED SCHOOL
DISTRICT,

(Doc. No. 50)

Defendant.

17
18

In a prior sealed order, this court denied plaintiff’s appeal from an administrative law

19

judge’s ruling concerning an Individuals with Disabilities Education Act (“IDEA”) claim. As

20

explained in that order, the entire administrative record with respect to that claim had previously

21

been sealed, given the personal information regarding plaintiff, a minor child, appearing

22

throughout that record. (Doc. No. 50 at 10 n.9.) To accommodate any privacy concerns the

23

parties might have, the court directed that its order denying the IDEA appeal, which discussed the

24

sealed administrative record, initially be sealed as well. (Id.) The parties were then given

25

fourteen days from the date of service of that order to submit any proposed redactions necessary

26

to protect personal information of the minor child, along with a memorandum providing the

27

authority for the proposed redactions, and were advised that a failure to file these documents

28

would result in the court’s order being unsealed without further notice. (Id.) The order was
1

1

served on the parties on February 9, 2018. No requests for redaction have been filed, and the time

2

in which to do so has now passed.

3

Therefore, the Clerk of the Court is directed to unseal the court’s order of January 29,

4

2018 (Doc. No. 50) and enter it on the public docket.

5

IT IS SO ORDERED.
