limited fashion. For example: (l) the names of minor children

digits of a social security number should be used; (3) a full date
of birth should not be used, only the year of birth need be given:
(4) only the last four digits of any financial account should be
included; and (5) in criminal cases, only the city and state of a
personal address need be given. Caution should also be used when
filing documents that contain the following: (l) personal

records; (3) employment history; (4) individual financial
information; (5) proprietary or trade secret information; (6)
information regarding cooperation with the government; (7) victim
