No. 4:13CV1757 NAB

MEMORANDUM AND ORDER
This matter is before the Court upon its own motion. The petition and exhibits
contain the full name of a minor child victim. Local Rule 5-2.17(A)(2) requires that
the names of minor children be redacted from any filing with the Court. “Only the
initials of minor children may be listed.” Id. As a result, the Court will direct the
Clerk to return these documents to petitioner so that he can redact the child’s name
from them and replace it with the child’s initials.
Accordingly,
IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk shall return the petition and its
exhibits to petitioner.
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner shall redact the names of any
children in the petition and exhibits and replace the name(s) with the child(s) initials.

IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that petitioner has twenty-eight (28) days to
comply with this Order. Should petitioner fail to comply with this Order, the Court
will dismiss this action without further proceedings.
Dated this 11th day of September, 2013.
