ORDER ON PLAINTIFFS REQUEST
TO SEAL DOCUMENTS

v.
KATHRYN M. HARWELL, et al.,
Defendants.

Plaintiffs request to file under seal various Exhibits to the Declaration of Counsel for
Plaintiffs Robert R. Powell, which are submitted in support of the Plaintiffs’ Motion For
Partial Summary Judgment.
Plaintiffs state that these documents should remain under seal because they contain
private and confidential information that is not generally known, not normally revealed to
the public or third parties, or, if disclosed to third parties, would require such third parties
to maintain the information in confidence. Moreover, the interest in maintaining the
privacy and confidentiality of said information outweighs the interest in public disclosure.
The documents are all related to matters involving minors, whether in juvenile dependency
proceedings, or involved in a child abuse investigation by law enforcement and contain
