DAVID ROBERT THOMSON, Petitioner, v. BRIAN WILLIAMS, et al., Respondents.
ORDER
RICHARD F. BOULWARE, II UNITED STATES DISTRICT JUDGE
This is a federal habeas corpus proceeding filed under 28 U.S.C. § 2254. Upon review of the exhibits filed in this matter, it appears Respondents failed to comply with the redaction requirements of Local Rule IC 6-1(a)(2). See ECF No. 48-1 at 6-28. Compelling reasons exist to seal the unredacted document as it contains personal-data identifiers, and the parties cannot change their filings.
Local Rule IC 6-1(a)(2) states “[i]f the involvement of a minor child must be mentioned, only the initials of that child should be used.” According to Local Rule IC 7-1, “[t]he court may strike documents that do not comply with these rules.”
IT IS THEREFORE ORDERED:
1. Respondents must file a redacted publicly available copy of the document filed as ECF No. 48-1 in compliance with Local Rule IC 6-1(a)(2), within 10 days of the date of entry of this order.
2. The Clerk of the Court is directed to seal the document filed as ECF No. 48-1.
