Background
Defendant Alfonso Amelio removed this case from the Supreme Court of New York, New York County. With his notice of removal, he filed Plaintiff Jeanne Omlor’s statement of net worth, wage and tax documents, federal and state income tax records, and personal banking records. The court stated that several documents contained Social Security numbers belonging to Omlor and minor children, as well as Omlor’s personal bank account numbers.
Court’s action
The court cited privacy concerns relating to sensitive financial information that could be misused, create a personal safety issue, or cause embarrassment if publicly released. It ordered Amelio to file, within one week of receiving the order, a copy of the notice of removal with these redactions:
- Jeanne Omlor’s Social Security number on pages 135 and 144–172; - Oona Carysse Amelio’s Social Security number on pages 145, 166, and 170; - Solene Ines Amelio’s Social Security number on pages 145, 166, and 170; and - Jeanne Omlor’s personal banking records on pages 173–176.
The court stated that, if Amelio could not redact the information, he could refile the notice of removal with those pages omitted. The order was issued by United States Magistrate Judge Sarah Netburn.
