Case No. 2:17-cv-02590-JCM-NJK
ORDER

16

This case involves a minor. The local rules require that a minor’s name be redacted such that

17

only his initials remain. Local Rule IC 6-1(a)(2); see also Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(a)(3). To date, every filing

18

in this case has included the full name of the minor. Docket Nos. 1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7. The Clerk’s Office has

19

sealed these filings as a result. The Court hereby ORDERS Defendant to refile each of its filings to date

20

on the public docket with redactions to every instance of the minor’s name so that only his initials

21

remain. Defendant shall do so by November 13, 2017.

22

The Court further ORDERS counsel to familiarize themselves with the applicable procedures

23

in this Court and to fully comply with them in the future. The Court expects strict compliance with the

24

orders and rules of the Court, and the parties and counsel should be aware that failure to comply may

25

result in sanctions. See, e.g., Davis v. Clark County Sch. Dist., 2013 U.S. Dist. Lexis 128937, *5 n.3 (D.

26

Nev. Sept. 9, 2013) (sanctioning counsel for repeated failure to comply with Court orders, including

27

order to use only minor’s initials in filings).
