Marcus Sharif McNeal, Petitioner v. Brian E. Williams, et al., Respondents
ORDER DIRECTING RESPONDENTS TO COMPLY WITH LR IC 6-1
Jennifer A. Dorsey U.S. District Judge.
Petitioner Marcus Sharif McNeal brings this petition for federal habeas corpus relief under 28 U.S.C. § 2254 to challenge his state-court convictions for, inter alia, attempted murder with use of a deadly weapon. This matter is poised for merits review, however, certain exhibitsdo not comply with the redaction requirements of LR IC 6-1(a)(1), (3), and (5). Compelling reasons exist to seal the exhibits, and file redacted versions of the exhibits, as they contain personal-data identifiers, and parties cannot change filings.
See ECF Nos. 22-3 at 4, 6; 22-7 at 45; 22-8 at 4; 22-11 at 2; 22-12 at 3; 22-13 at 3; 22-14 at 3; 22-15 at 3; 22-17 at 3; 22-20 at 2-3; 22-21 at 3; 22-23 at 36, 50; 22-25 at 11, 76-77; 23-21 at 7, 16, 40, 43; 50-5 at 17; 76-2 at 116, 122-133, 141; and 76-13 at 118, 124-43.
See LR IC 6-1(a)(1) (“If an individual's Social Security number must be included, only the last four digits of that number should be used.”); LR IC 6-1(a)(3) (“If an individual's date of birth must be included, only the year should be used.”); and LR IC 6-1(a)(5) (“If a home address must be included, only the city and state should be listed.”).
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED that respondents have until October 31, 2023, to file redacted copies of the exhibits identified in footnote 1 of this Order in compliance with LR IC 6-1(a)(1), (3), and (5).
IT IS FURTHER ORDERED that the Clerk of Court is directed to SEAL the exhibits identified in footnote 1 of this order.
