TEXT ORDER (EBOC): The Petitioner filed documents (DNs 1 -4, 1 -5) containing personal data identifiers that should be redacted under Fed. R. Civ. P. 5.2. The Court directs the Clerk to restrict electronic access to the document so only Court users and participants may view it. The Court further orders the Petitioner to file a motion to seal the documents or a motion seeking leave to file redacted versions of the entire document (since the Clerk cannot replace individual pages within documents) along with a copy of the redacted versions within 7 days of the entry of this order, which the Clerk may substitute for the previously filed documents if the Court grants the motion.
