STEWART MANAGO,

Plaintiff,

No. 2:07-cv-2290 LKK KJN P

vs.

12

BRAD WILLIAMS, et al.,

14

Defendants.

ORDER
/

15

Defendant Brockett requests to file under seal additional exhibits generated

16
17

pursuant to her pertinent disciplinary proceedings before the State Personnel Board. Defendant

18

contemporaneously served plaintiff with a copy of the request and exhibits. Although

19

defendant’s counsel avers that most exhibits were previously provided to both plaintiff and the

20

court, the current format provides “clarity and ease of reference” (Dkt. No. 245 at 1), which

21

appears to be accurate based on the undersigned’s review of the exhibits and summary. Pursuant

22

to this review, the undersigned finds that the submitted materials, all related to defendant’s

23

confidential personnel matters concerning issues in this case, appropriate for sealing pursuant to

24

Local Rule 141. The court further finds that plaintiff should be granted additional time to file his

25

supplemental opposition.
