in forma pauperis in this civil rights action pursuant to 42 U.S.C. § 1983. This action proceeds

record of the action absent order of the Court. Pertinent portions of the deposition intended to

2

become part of the official record shall be submitted as exhibits in support of a motion or

3

otherwise.” L.R. 133(j) (citation omitted).

4

As the Court has not ordered that the entire deposition transcript become part of the

5

official record, the Court has sealed Defendant’s notice of lodging to prevent public access to the

6

transcript in question. Defendant is instructed to refile the notice of lodging and to submit the

7

deposition transcript, all in compliance with Local Rule 133(j). The Court notes that an electronic

8

copy of the transcript, submitted to [e-mail], is preferred.

9

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that within seven (7) days from the date of

10

service of this order, Defendant shall refile the notice of lodging and submit a courtesy copy of

11

the transcript of Plaintiff’s September 16, 2022 deposition, all in compliance with Local Rule

133(j).
