12 This matter comes before the Court on Plaintiff’s Petition for Return of Child Under 13 Convention on Civil Aspects of International Child Abduction (“Convention”). Dkt. No. 1. 14 Plaintiff filed the petition on August 6, 2024, but failed to redact the child’s first name in 15 the “Verification of Petition” section. Dkt. No. 1 at 17. Under Federal Rule of Civil Procedure 16 5.2(a) and Local Rule 5.2, the Court placed the petition under seal and instructed the Plaintiff to 17 file a redacted version of the document. Plaintiff filed a redacted petition, but again failed to redact 18 the child’s name. Dkt. No. 7 at 17. Again, the Court placed the petition under seal and instructed 19 Plaintiff to file a correctly redacted copy. Plaintiff failed to file a redacted petition. 20 Under the Convention and the International Child Abductions Remedies Act, 22 U.S.C. § 21 9001 et seq., the Court must “‘use the most expeditious procedures available’ to decide petitions 22 arising under the Convention, with decisions generally expected within six weeks from the date of 23 filing.” Colchester v.

The Court must ensure this case is handled 2 expeditiously and thus ORDERS the following: 3 1. Plaintiff must file a redacted petition, properly redacting the child’s name, no later
