(Doc. No. 38)
KERN HIGH SCHOOL DISTRICT and

Defendants.

On February 26, 2019, the undersigned issued a minute order directing plaintiff’s counsel

19

to file the settlement agreement underlying plaintiff’s petition for approval of a minor’s

20

compromise. (Doc. No. 37.) On February 28, 2019, plaintiff’s counsel filed a declaration and

21

attached thereto the parties’ settlement agreement. (Doc. No. 38.) Upon review of that filing, the

22

court notes that the attached settlement agreement on page four contains the full name of the

23

minor plaintiff in this action, L.M. (See Doc. No. 38 at 4.) Federal Rule of Civil Procedure Rule

24

5.2(a)(3) and Local Rule 140(a)(i) require that a minor’s initials be used in court filings rather

25

than the minor’s full name.

26

Accordingly,

28

1. The Clerk of the Court is directed to strike defendant’s supplemental filing (Doc.
No. 38) from the docket; and

2. Defendant is granted seven days from the date of service of this order to refile the

declaration of attorney J. Miguel Flores and the settlement agreement attached

thereto with the appropriate redactions.
