CERTIORARI TO THE INTERMEDIATE COURT OF APPEALS

()
Petitioner/Defendant-Appellant Antonio Ganitano's ("Ganitano") application for writ of certiorari ("application") filed on July 25, 2018, is hereby rejected.

The appellate clerk shall seal Volume I of the record on appeal and the transcript in ICA docket 88.
Any individual may file, within 10 days of the entry of this order, a motion objecting to the sealing of Volume I of the record on appeal and/or the aforementioned transcript.

NO. 15-1-1721 do not comply with HCRR Rule 9.1(a). In the circuit court, the party responsible for the filing of the non-compliant document shall then move to seal the document, and concurrently file a redacted version of the document, no later than thirty (30) days from the date of this order.
