Case No. 11-CV-00304-OWW-GSA

ORDER DENYING REQUEST
TO FILE AFFIDAVIT
UNDER SEAL

On August 9, 2011, Claimant Bok Hee Ee (“Claimant”) made a request to file her second

22 declaration dated August 8, 2011 under seal on the basis that it contains “sensitive and confidential
23 information.” (Doc. 36). The Court has reviewed this declaration and it appears that it does not
24 contain information warranting a sealing order. LR 141(b) requires that “[t]he request to seal
25 documents shall set forth the statutory or other authority for sealing. LR 141(b). Claimant has
26 provided no such authority.

The Court notes that the last group of documents that were sealed in this case contained

2 Claimant’s financial information including a social security number and bank account numbers.
3 However, the instant declaration does not contain similar information. As such, Plaintiff’s request
4 to file Claimant’s affidavit is DENIED WITHOUT PREJUDICE. Plaintiff may either resubmit the
5 request with the appropriate supporting legal authority, or alternatively, file the document
6 electronically pursuant to LR 133(a). Claimant is advised that the declaration will not be considered
7 by the Court until it is filed in accordance with one of these procedures.
