in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. Plaintiff filed this action on March 23, 2009. 

By order issued April 14, 2009, this Court granted Plaintiff’s request to proceed under a fictitious

does not object to Plaintiff redacting his true name from the medical records. In reply, Plaintiff

agrees with Defendant to redacting Plaintiff’s true name from the record. Plaintiff thus does not

disagree with Defendant as to the submission of the medical records under the condition that

Plaintiff’s name is redacted.

If Plaintiff intends to submit exhibits in support of his opposition to Defendant’s motion to

dismiss, Plaintiff may do so, and Plaintiff should redact his own name from all exhibits submitted. 

The Court will not redact Plaintiff’s name on Plaintiff’s behalf. The exhibits submitted should be

entitled “Plaintiff’s Exhibits In Support of Opposition to Defendant’s Motion to Dismiss.”

Accordingly, the Court HEREBY ORDERS that Plaintiff’s motion to file medical records

under seal, filed February 22, 2010, is DISREGARDED as moot, and Plaintiff is to file his medical

records in support of his opposition within fifteen (15) days from the date of service of this order.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
