Case No.: 10-CV-05797-LHK
ORDER DENYING MOTION TO SEAL
DOCUMENTS

Defendants the East Bay Children’s Law Offices and Jonna Thomas previously submitted

18

an administrative motion to seal their Motion to Dismiss and related papers. See Dkt. No. 76. The

19

Court denied the Motion, ordering Defendants to “replace Plaintiff’s last name in the papers with

20

the first letter of her last name (K.),” and to request to seal Ex. A to the Request for Judicial Notice

21

as it contains sealable information. See Dkt. No. 82. Defendants have now filed another

22

Administrative Motion to Seal, but, contrary to the Court’s Order, some of the documents contain

23

Plaintiff’s full last name. Namely, Defendants’ Notice of Motion contains Plaintiff’s full last name

24

multiple times.

25

Defendants are in violation of the Court’s Order which specifically directed Defendants to

26

replace Plaintiff’s full last name with the first letter of her last name. If Defendants continue to

27

present improperly-prepared administrative motions to seal, in violation of the Court’s orders, the
