Jones Day and Local Counsel Flub Redactions in Court Filing, Leading to Show-Cause Order
A federal court document filed by Jones Day and local counsel Gentry Locke appeared to contain many redactions to protect grand jury information in a criminal case against their pharmaceutical client, reports the ABA Journal.
When it was discovered that the redactions could be read by cutting and pasting the blacked-out sections into a new document, U.S. Magistrate Judge Pamela Meade Sargent ordered the law firms on Wednesday to show cause why they shouldn’t be sanctioned for the error.
The client is Indivior, a U.K.-based addiction-treatment company that makes an under-the-tongue form of the opioid dependence drug Suboxone.
