On September 30, 2020, the Court granted Plaintiff’s counsel, Cyus Safa of the Law

18

Offices of Lawrence D. Rohlfing (“Safa”), $2,400 of attorneys’ fees pursuant to 42 U.S.C. §

19

406(b). (ECF No. 25). In its order, the Court noted that Safa did not properly redact Plaintiff’s

20

Social Security number in his motion for attorney’s fees. (Id. at 4-5). The Court sealed those

21

filings and ordered: “Within seven days of the date of this Order, Plaintiff shall re-file such sealed

22

documents, and such filings shall comply with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(a) and Local

23

Rule 140(a).” (Id. at 5).
More than seven days have passed since the Court entered that order, and neither Plaintiff

24
25

nor Safa has refiled those documents with proper redactions.
