Manish Kumar Kardam v. Michelle Lynn Lofstrom ( 2019 )

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.
