Per GR 31(e)(2), "The responsibility for redacting these personal identifiers rests solely with counsel and the parties. The Court of the Clerk will not review each pleading for compliance with this rule. If a pleading is filed without redaction, the opposing party or identified person may move the Court to order redaction." |
