Case No. 2:15-cv-00677-JAD-NJK
ORDER
(Docket No. 17)

13

On October 13, 2015, Plaintiff filed a brief with attached exhibits. See Docket No. 17. Both the

14

Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and the special orders in this District require attorneys to ensure that they do

15

not file on the public record documents containing certain personalidentifiers, such as a person’s socialsecurity

16

number, home addresses and date of birth. See, e.g., Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2; Special Order Nos. 108, 109.

17

Instead, attorneys have a responsibility to review the materials they file to ensure that such information is

18

redacted in compliance with the procedures outlined in those directives.

19

It has come to the Court’s attention that attorney Chad Dennie filed documents on the public docket

20

containing various personal identifiers of Plaintiff in the exhibits attached to Docket No. 17. The Court hereby

21

INSTRUCTS the Clerk’s Office to SEAL Docket No. 17 and allexhibits attached thereto. The Court further

22

ORDERS attorney Dennie to re-file those documents no later than December 4, 2015 with all appropriate

23

redactions. The Court warns Mr. Dennie that failure to comply with these redaction requirements in the future

24

may result in the imposition of sanctions.

25

IT IS SO ORDERED.
