Manish Kumar Kardam v. Michelle Lynn Lofstrom

Opinion

Order entered January 17, 2019

In The

Court of Appeals

Fifth District of Texas at Dallas No. 05-18-01435-CV

MANISH KUMAR KARDAM, Appellant V.

MICHELLE LYNN LOFSTROM, Appellee

On Appeal from the 417th Judicial District Court Collin County, Texas

Trial Court Cause No. 417-55748-2018

ORDER

On December 18, 2018, we ordered Collin County District Clerk Lynne Finley to file an

amended clerk’s record that did not disclose confidential information and complied with the trial court’s protective order. The protective order provides that “1. all places of employment or business addresses; 2. all school/daycare addresses; and 3. all residential addresses and telephone numbers” are to be stricken from “any and all public records, including any electronic records maintained by the Clerk of the Court.” The protective order further provides such information shall be kept “for use only by the Court.”

Rather than filing a redacted record that does not contain the confidential information, Ms. Finley filed a sealed record containing the confidential information and an unsealed amended record containing the remaining documents. Because the sealed record does not comply with the protective order, we STRIKE that record as well as the amended record. We ORDER Ms. Finley to file, no later than January 23, 2019, a single amended unsealed clerk’s record with the confidential and sensitive information stricken. See TEX. R. APP. P. 9.9; TEX. FAM. CODE ANN. § 85.007.

We DIRECT the Clerk of the Court to send a copy of this order to Ms. Finley and the parties.
