(ECF No. 20.)

TINA M. ADAMS, et al.,
Defendants.

Archie Cranford (“Plaintiff”) is a civil detainee proceeding pro se and in forma pauperis

19

with this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This case now proceeds with

20

Plaintiff’s original Complaint, filed on June 6, 2016, against Dunu Eyiuche (RN) (“Defendant”)

21

for violation of equal protection under the Fourteenth Amendment. (ECF No. 1.)

22

On October 18, 2017, Defendant filed a motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 19.)

23

Also on October 18, 2017, Defendant filed an ex parte motion to seal exhibits in support of the

24

motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 20.) On October 25, 2017, Defendant filed an

25

amended motion for summary judgment. (ECF No. 22.) The filing of the amended motion for

26

summary judgment renders Defendant’s ex parte motion to seal exhibits moot. Therefore, the

27

court shall deny the motion to seal exhibits as moot. If Defendant seeks to seal exhibits

supporting the amended motion for summary judgment, Defendant must file a new motion to

seal exhibits based on the amended motion for summary judgment.

Accordingly, based on the foregoing, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that Defendant’s ex
parte motion to seal exhibits, filed on October 18, 2017, is DENIED as moot.

IT IS SO ORDERED.
