COMES NOW Plaintiff. Boyan Ding, by and through undersigned counsel, and Wt respectfully requests that this Honorable Court permanently seal, and allow Plaintiff to file the cz redacted version of SDNY CM/ECF Docket Entry # 2, “COMPLAINT IN THE NATURE OF MANDAMUS against Ur Mendoza Jaddou, Alejandro Mayorkas, Patricia A.

(Alexandre, Felipe) (Entered: 07/01/2022)”.
Plaintiff, through counsel, respectfully requests that the Court also permanently seal the Attachments to Docket Entry # 2, “Attachments; # 1 Exhibit Mandamus Exhibits”.
Counsel for Plaintiff inadvertently failed to file a redacted version of Docket Entry # 2, r including attachments, pursuant to Rule 5.2(a) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. Counsel for Plaintiff only recently became aware of this error and expeditiously prepared this motion. The filings include personal identifiers, such as dates of birth and social security numbers. A grant of this motion would allow Plaintiffs counsel to file a redacted version of the Complaint and Exhibits from Docket Entry # 2 in compliance with the rules. Plaintiffs counsel apologizes to the Court for above-mentioned oversight.
This is the first such request made by Plaintiff in the above-captioned matter. Counsel for the Defendants consents to this request.
WHEREFORE, Plaintiff, through undersigned counsel, respectfully requests that this Honorable Court grant this Motion to Seal Docket Entry #2 and allow Plaintiff to file a redacted version of the Complaint and Exhibits.
