ORDER
14
The court has before it plaintiff’s motion to seal, expunge or destroy all records related
15
to this case (doc. 53). He explains only that he wishes to put the contents of this case behind
16
him and out of the public record. Plaintiff’s request to seal the case records has already been
17
rejected by this court (doc. 51).
18
There is “a strong presumption in favor of access” to information filed with a court.
19
Kamakana v. City & County of Honolulu, 447 F.3d 1172, 1178 (9th Cir. 2006) (citing Nixon
20
v. Warner Commc’ns, Inc., 435 U.S. 589, 597 & n.7 (1978)). To overcome this presumption,
21
a party seeking to seal a judicial record must demonstrate “compelling reasons.” Id. Plaintiff
22
has failed to satisfy this heavy burden.
