ORDER SEALING SECOND
AMENDED COMPLAINT AND
ORDERING RE-FILING OF
REDACTED SECOND AMENDED
COMPLAINT
(re: dkt. #11)
17
On May 9, 2012, Plaintiffs filed a Second Amended Complaint 1 in which they disclose, for
18
19
the first time, minor Plaintiff J.M.’s full name and birth date. Pursuant to Federal Rule of Civil
20
Procedure 5.2(a), parties may include in any filing with the Court only a minor’s initials and only
21
the year of the individual’s birth. Accordingly, to protect the interests of the minor J.M., the Clerk
22
shall seal ECF No. 11. By September 10, 2012, Plaintiffs shall re-file properly redacted versions of
23
their previously filed Second Amended Complaint. The parties must ensure that the minor’s name
24
and date of birth, as well as the parents’ last name, have been redacted in all publicly filed
25
documents. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(a).

On the docket, Plaintiffs’ SAC is labeled simply “Amended Complaint,” and in the document
itself, the pleading is titled “Third Amended Complaint.” The Court deems the operative pleading
the Second Amended Complaint (“SAC”), and refers to it as such.
