ORDER STRIKING PLAINTIFFS' COMPLAINT [1] AND DIRECTING THE CLERK'S OFFICE TO AMEND THE DOCKET
JUDITH E. LEVY UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
On May 22, 2022, Plaintiffs filed the complaint in this case. (ECF No. 1.) Plaintiffs' complaint contains the full names of the minor Plaintiffs and is therefore not in compliance with Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(a)(3). Accordingly, Plaintiffs' complaint is stricken. By May 27, 2022, Plaintiffs must file a redacted version of the complaint that refers to the minor Plaintiffs by their initials, as required by Rule 5.2(a)(3). The Clerk's Office is directed to amend the docket by substituting the minor Plaintiffs' full names with their initials.
Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 5.2(a)(3) provides that “[u]nless the court orders otherwise, in an electronic or paper filing with the court that contains . . . the name of an individual known to be a minor, . . . a party or nonparty making the filing may include only . . . the minor's initials.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 5.2(a)(3).
IT IS SO ORDERED.
