(g) Non-conforming Documents.
(1) Waiver. A person waives the protection of Rule 5.2(a) as to the person's own information by filing it without redaction and not under seal.
(2) Sanctions. If a party fails to comply with this rule, the court on motion of another party or its own motion may order the pleading or other document to be reformed. If the order is not obeyed, the court may order the document stricken.
