United States District Court

Northern District of California

UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA

MARCUS HURT, et al.,

Plaintiffs,

v.

DAVID ADAMS, et al.,

Defendants.

Case No. 15-cv-05223-JCS 

ORDER SEALING COMPLAINT AND 

REQUIRING PLAINTIFFS TO FILE 

REDACTED COMPLAINT

Re: Dkt. No. 1

Rule 5.2(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure requires redaction of the name of an 

individual known to be a minor. Documents filed with the Court are available to the public and 

may include only the initials of a minor child. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(a)(3).

Plaintiffs’ Complaint largely complies with this rule, but paragraph 16 appears to 

inadvertently include two instances of the first name of a minor. Because the Complaint includes 

information protected by Rule 5.2, it is hereby SEALED. Plaintiffs are ORDERED to file a 

version of the Complaint redacting all instances of the names of minor children no later than April 

6, 2016 in order to complete the public record in this action. Initials of minor children may be left 

unredacted.

IT IS SO ORDERED.

Dated: March 23, 2016
