Case No. 15-cv-03871-TEH
ORDER RE: FILING DOCUMENTS
UNDER SEAL

Defendant.

10

This Court previously granted Plaintiffs’ request to proceed pseudonymously but

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11

denied their request to file all documents under seal. Docket numbers 3-12 were sealed by

12

the general duty judge, subject to revisiting by this Court. Docket numbers 19-21 and 23

13

were locked by this Court from public view, but not sealed, after the parties publicly filed

14

documents containing the names of the minor child and his parents.

15

At the September 1, 2015 hearing, Plaintiffs’ counsel acknowledged that redacting

16

identifying information of the student and parents would be sufficient to protect their

17

privacy concerns, and that the documents need not be sealed in their entirety.

18

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the parties shall electronically file redacted

19

versions of docket numbers 3-12, 19-21, and 23 on or before September 11, 2015. The

20

already filed unredacted versions of these documents shall be maintained under seal.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
