Lyon, et al. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, et al., Case No.: 13-cv-05878 EMC

JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING REDACTION OF NAMES EXCEPT FOR INITIALS AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

The Parties to this action hereby agree to the following regarding the redaction of the names and 

identifying characteristics of certain class members and third parties in this litigation with respect 

to proposed trial materials, to protect privacy as permitted by Federal Rule of Civil Procedure

5.2(e). WHEREAS:

Some Plaintiff class members are seeking or have sought relief or protection from 

removal based on fear of persecution and in their home countries or based on other grounds that 

could subject them to retaliation here or abroad;

Plaintiff class members seeking relief or protection may have privacy interests arising 

from statute or regulatory guidance. See, e.g., 8 U.S.C. § 1367(a)(2); 8 C.F.R. §§ 208.6, 1208.6 

(regulations protecting an asylum-seeker’s right to confidentiality);

Plaintiffs seek to present class members’ testimony at trial, and the parties contemplate 

the use of exhibits identifying class members and their relations, including testimony and 

exhibits that may include references to statutorily protected claims for relief or sensitive facts 

that create concern regarding harassment and retaliation; 

The Parties agree that protecting Plaintiff class members from potential harm related to 

disclosure of their identities and the subject matter of their immigration cases can be achieved 

without prejudice to Defendants by (1) redacting the names and other identifying information of 

non-named class members and their relations from exhibits and (2) substituting initials of class 

member witnesses’ full names in the parties’ briefs, exhibits, and other references to testifying 

class members during trial; and

The Parties recognize that the Court and testifying witnesses would be aided in their 

ability to interpret exhibits if unredacted copies of proposed trial exhibits are made available for 

use at trial; only the redacted versions of the exhibits, however, would be published to the 

courtroom or entered into the public record in light of the privacy concerns noted above.

NOW THEREFORE, the Parties stipulate that:

Lyon, et al. v. U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, et al., Case No.: 13-cv-05878 EMC

JOINT STIPULATION REGARDING REDACTION OF NAMES EXCEPT FOR INITIALS AND 

[PROPOSED] ORDER

1. Papers and evidence published at trial or otherwise filed in the public record will 

be redacted to avoid disclosure of the names of non-named class members and their relations and 

other identifying information for those class members and relations;

2. Documents that relate to specific non-named class members will include the

initials of class member witnesses who are not named representatives as needed to allow the 

public to understand the relationship between testifying class members and the documents that 

reference them;

3. The names of Plaintiff class representatives will not be redacted;

4. Prior to trial, Plaintiffs will file under seal a reference list of non-named class member 

witnesses’ full names and Alien Registration Numbers and corresponding initials, pursuant to 

Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2(g); and

5. The Parties will provide unredacted versions of the papers and evidence filed in the 

public record in accordance with paragraph 1 to the Court and to witnesses, as necessary to allow 

the Court and witnesses to verify that exhibits from which class member names are redacted or 

which are redacted to show only the initials of a class member relate to the class member at 

issue.

THE PARTIES SO STIPULATE, THROUGH THEIR COUNSEL OF RECORD.
