UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 

NORTHERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 

EMMA C., et al., 

Plaintiffs, 

v. 

DELAINE EASTIN, et al., 

Defendants. 

Case No. 96-cv-04179-TEH 

ORDER SEALING DOCKET 

ENTRIES 

 

Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(a) requires that the names of minors be 

redacted from filings made with the Court. After it came to the Court’s attention that the 

California Department of Education (“CDE”) may have inadvertently filed several 

documents containing the unredacted names of minors, the Court issued a sealed Order on 

February 2, 2015, instructing the CDE to review its filings in this case to identify any 

documents impermissibly containing the unredacted names of minors. (Docket No. 2015). 

The CDE complied with the Court’s instructions, and on February 17, 2015, filed a motion 

asking the Court to seal or redact six documents: Docket Nos. 1300, 1342, 1365, 1310, 

1474-2, and 1476. (Docket No. 2017). 

Good cause appearing, the Court now GRANTS the CDE’s motion, with minor 

alterations to preserve the public nature of portions of the identified documents that do not 

contain any names. Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that the following ECF 

documents be retroactively sealed: Docket Nos. 1300-5, 1310, 1342, 1365, 1474-2, 1476, 

and 1482. 

IT IS SO ORDERED.
