UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
MIDDLE DISTRICT OF FLORIDA
FORT MYERS DIVISION
JOSHUA BASHORE, on his own
behalf and others similarly situated
Plaintiff,
v.

Case No: 2:14-cv-296-FtM-29CM

PERFORMANCE PLUMBING OF
SOUTHWEST FLORIDA, INC.,
LARRY LANGLEY and RANDAL
LANGLEY,
Defendants.
ORDER
Before the Court is Defendant Larry Langley’s Motion to Delete Page of Filing
(Doc. 18), filed on September 24, 2014. Mr. Langley moves to substitute page 20 of
the attachment to his Response to Complaint and Demand for Jury Trial (Doc. 15-1)
with the page submitted as an attachment to the instant motion (Doc. 18-1). The
information Defendant seeks to redact is the Plaintiff’s home address, telephone
number, date of birth and social security number.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2 sets forth the type of information that may
be subject to redaction for privacy protection, and it does not include the address or
telephone number of a plaintiff who is not a minor, as in this case. However, Rule
5.2 states that only the last four digits of an individual’s social security number and
only the year of the individual’s birth may be included in court filings. Fed. R. Civ.
P. 5.2(a)(1)-(2).

Although the proposed submission has redacted additional

information not permitted to be redacted by Rule 5.2, because Defendant is
proceeding pro se the Court will accept the proposed filing.
The Court also notes that the motion does not include the certification that Mr.
Langley conferred with counsel for Plaintiff prior to filing the motion, as required by
Middle District of Florida Local Rule 3.01(g).

Defendant is reminded that even

though he is currently proceeding pro se, it is mandatory that he proceed in
accordance with Federal and Local Rules.1 Loren v Sasser, 309 F.3d 1296, 1304
(11th Cir. 2002) (noting that despite certain leniency afforded pro se parties, they
must follow procedures). Failure to do so in the future will result in the motion being
stricken without further notice.
ACCORDINGLY, it is hereby
ORDERED:
1.

Defendant Larry Langley’s Motion to Delete Page of Filing (Doc. 18) is

GRANTED. The Clerk of Court is directed to remove page 20 of Doc. 15-1 from the
docket, and replace it with Doc. 18-1.
DONE and ORDERED in Fort Myers, Florida on this 26th day of September,
2014.
