ORDER to Present Administrative Record. Signed by District Judge Robert H. Cleland. (LWag)

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF MICHIGAN
SOUTHERN DIVISION

JEANNINE L. SOMBERG, et al.,
Plaintiffs,
v.

Case No. 13-11810

UTICA COMMUNITY SCHOOLS,
Defendants.
/

ORDER TO PRESENT ADMINISTRATIVE RECORD
In completing review of the parties’ motions for judgment, the court has become
aware that various portions of the administrative record have not been filed on the
docket. The court made sufficiently clear in its order of February 3, 2015, that the court’s
review would be limited to the administrative record and not supplemented by additional
discovery. (Dkt. # 19.) While both parties have attached to their respective briefs many
of the relevant documents, or excerpts thereof, Plaintiffs have not filed a complete
administrative record—that is, all the documents, exhibits, and testimony on which the
state hearing officer might have relied in rendering her decision at the administrativehearing stage, as well as any orders or opinions issued—for the court to review as a
whole.
As such, IT IS ORDERED that Plaintiff will file UNDER SEAL the entire
administrative record, even if some of it has already been filed, in pieces, in previous
entries. Plaintiff must lodge with chambers a physical copy of the filed record in which

all documents and papers are preceded by a table of contents, and each document is
physically tabbed corresponding to the designation in the table of contents.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that Plaintiff and Defendant will confer with each
other to ensure the completeness of the administrative record to be filed on the docket,
and Plaintiff will file a memorandum, signed by both parties, stipulating to its
completeness.
Both the administrative record and the stipulation will be filed in electronic form,
and lodged with chambers in physical form, no later than 5 p.m., March 15, 2016.
