IT IS HEREBY REQUESTED that the Court order the Office of the Clerk to seal and
21
redact all birth dates, financial account numbers, and social security numbers appearing on
22
Exhibit F to Plaintiff’s Complaint (ECF No. 1) and Exhibit F to Exhibit A to Plaintiff’s Motion
23
for Leave to File an Amended Complaint (ECF No. 19) pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
24
Procedure 5.2 and Local Rule 140(a).
25
On June 6, 2017, Plaintiff Matthew Davies filed the Complaint that initiated the current
26
action. Compl., ECF No. 1. Exhibit F to the Complaint included an excerpt of Mr. Davies’ credit
27
report, which erroneously included unredacted birth dates, financial account numbers, and social
28
security numbers. Compl., Ex. F, ECF No. 1. On September 8, 2017, Mr. Davies filed a Motion
29
-1-
1
for Leave to File an Amended Complaint. Pl.’s Mot. for Leave to File Am. Compl., ECF. 19.
2
The proposed amended complaint attached to the Motion as Exhibit A also included the same
3
attachment, with unredacted birth dates, financial account numbers, and social security numbers,
4
that was attached to the original Complaint. Pl.’s Mot. for Leave to File Am. Compl., Ex. F to
5
Ex. A, ECF No. 19.
6
Mr. Davies has been advised by the Eastern District of California’s Clerk’s Office that an
7
exhibit attached to the proposed amended complaint included an unredacted birth date. In
8
reviewing the filed documents, it came to Mr. Davies’ attention that a number of birth dates,
9
financial account numbers, and social security numbers appeared on the same exhibit to both the
10
Complaint and the proposed amended complaint.
11
A party making a filing must omit, inter alia, full dates of birth, full financial account
12
numbers, or full social security numbers. Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2; E.D. Cal. R. 140. This requirement
13
includes attachments. E.D. Cal. R. 140(a). The redactions should only leave the last four digits
14
of financial account numbers and social security numbers, and the year from dates of birth. E.D.
15
Cal. R. 140(a)(ii)–(iii). Mr. Davies now brings this request for the Court to order the Clerk to
16
seal and redact the birth dates, financial account numbers, and social security numbers present on
17
both the Complaint and Motion for Leave to File an Amended Complaint.
