Case No. C 07-05756 SI REQUEST TO REMOVE ATTACHMENT TO DOC. #403 (403-2) FROM PUBLIC VIEW AND [PROPOSED] ORDER

On January 22, 2010, Defendants filed Court Doc.# 403, Part 2 ("403-2"). That document consists of 27 pages of exhibits (Exhibits H-N), attachments to the Declaration of Delia A. Isvoranu (Doc. #403). Included therein was Exhibit K, the Court's November 30, 2007 Referral for Reassignment (Doc. #4), filed by the Court prior to Defendants being served with the Complaint and Summons in this action. Defense counsel was recently contacted by Plaint iff who advised that Exhibit K (pages 13-14 of 27) is a document which the Court had previously removed from the public's view upon its filing (prior to Defendants being served or appearing in this action). Indeed, Plaintiff advised that he received Exhibit K (Doc. #4) "by U.S. mail in 2007" from the Court, presumably because the Court did not post the Referral for Reassignment on the ECF system. The document does not contain any social security or taxpayer-identification numbers; dates of birth; names of minor children (only initials appear); financial account numbers; or home -1REQUEST TO REMOVE DOC. #403-2 FROM PUBLIC VIEW; Case No. C 07-05756 SI
