Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(a) requires that the names of minors be

redacted from filings made with the Court. After it came to the Court’s attention that the

12

California Department of Education (“CDE”) may have inadvertently filed several

13

documents containing the unredacted names of minors, the Court issued a sealed Order on

14

February 2, 2015, instructing the CDE to review its filings in this case to identify any

15

documents impermissibly containing the unredacted names of minors. (Docket No. 2015).

16

The CDE complied with the Court’s instructions, and on February 17, 2015, filed a motion

17

asking the Court to seal or redact six documents: Docket Nos. 1300, 1342, 1365, 1310,

18

1474-2, and 1476. (Docket No. 2017).

19

Good cause appearing, the Court now GRANTS the CDE’s motion, with minor

20

alterations to preserve the public nature of portions of the identified documents that do not

21

contain any names. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that the following ECF

22

documents be retroactively sealed: Docket Nos. 1300-5, 1310, 1342, 1365, 1474-2, 1476,

23

and 1482.
