Removing a case to federal court and attaching
I can't answer about damages.However, here's how I would redact:, and in the overlay, type "redacted." Give an explanation in the cover page. More low-tech would be to use tape, write in "redacted" on it, and scan the resulting document. - John D. Faucher818/889-8080

I'm in Idaho state court here. Client got sued on a personal guaranty. I am removing it to fed court under diversity jurisdiction. I just noticed that the plaintiff attached a document with myclient'sfull social security number, without redacting.
I am obligated to attach the original pleadings to my notice ofremoval of the action, but obviously I want to redact this. What is the best way to indicate that I am redacting this because the plaintiff failed to? Should I just indicate it in my cover page? i just want it to be clear that I have altered the original papers.
Also, has anyone gotten damages from a plaintiff for failure to redact private info like this? Any guidance is appreciated.
