ORDER SEALING COMPLAINT AND
REQUIRING PLAINTIFFS TO FILE
REDACTED COMPLAINT
Re: Dkt. No. 1

United States District Court
Northern District of California

11
12

Rule 5.2(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires redaction of the name of an

13

individual known to be a minor. Documents filed with the Court are available to the public and

14

may include only the initials of a minor child. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(a)(3).

15

Plaintiffs’ Complaint largely complies with this rule, but paragraph 16 appears to

16

inadvertently include two instances of the first name of a minor. Because the Complaint includes

17

information protected by Rule 5.2, it is hereby SEALED. Plaintiffs are ORDERED to file a

18

version of the Complaint redacting all instances of the names of minor children no later than April

19

6, 2016 in order to complete the public record in this action. Initials of minor children may be left

20

unredacted.
