Filing 11 ENTRY Concerning Selected Matters - 10 Motion to Expedite is GRANTED consistent with the rulings and directions in this Entry. 9 Sealed Motion to Seal 1 Complaint is GRANTED. The clerk shall place the complaint (Dkt. 1 ) under seal. The Cl erk shall file and docket the proposed redacted complaint (Dkt. [9-1]). A copy of the filed redacted complaint shall be included with the plaintiff's copy of this Entry. The redacted complaint shall be used for all purposes hereafter as the c omplaint unless specific arguments are presented concerning the allegations in paragraphs 22, 23, 29, 36, 38, and 40 of the original complaint. The original complaint will also be used as the basis for the screening which is required by 28 U.S.C. 67; 1915A(b). The ruling in paragraph 2 of this Entry is provisional only, although no expirationdate is established for keeping the original complaint under seal. It may be disputed whether the moving defendant has met the "rigorous justificati on" required to justify withdrawing the original complaint from public view. In re Krynicki, 983 F.2d 74, 75 (7th Cir. 1992). Two possible alternatives to the sealing of the original complaint suggest themselves at the outset. The first is that the plaintiff may be prepared to withdraw or amend the language in the specified paragraphs--amend the language in such a way as to remove the allegations which the moving defendant has found objectionable. The plaintiff shall have through 4/18/2014, in which to address that possibility in a report to the court. The second is that a motion to strike pursuant to Rule 12(f) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure may entirely suffice. That possibility may be taken by the moving defendant if warran ted by future circumstances in this case. The plaintiff, as well as any member of the public, shall have through the close of business on 4/18/2014, in which to object to the sealing of the complaint as specified in paragraph 1 of this Entry. If an objection is filed, the court will direct further proceedings. Signed by Judge Tanya Walton Pratt on 3/20/2014 (copy mailed to plaintiff). (LBT) |
