This is a lawsuit about six former employees who were allegedly treated unlawfully by

18 their employer. The six former employees are Plaintiffs Aaron Baptiste, Joseph Baptiste, David
19 Dillworth, Kenneth Dillworth, Marvin Harris, and Herman St. Brice. The employer is Defendant
20 KSI, LLC.

Before the Court is Plaintiffs’ motion to withdraw, which asks the Court to withdraw

22 filings from the record that were filed by Plaintiffs’ counsel but “inadvertently” contained personal
23 identification information of some Plaintiffs. See Doc. No. 41. In their motion, Plaintiffs failed to
24 specifically identify the filings that they want withdrawn, although it appears from the motion’s
25 exhibits that Plaintiffs want the following filings withdrawn: Doc. No. 38-5; Doc. No. 38-7; Doc.
26 No. 38-9; Doc. No. 38-10; and Doc. No. 38-13. These filings appear to include employment
27 records and W-2 wage and tax statements for some Plaintiffs.
