Defendants.
16
This court has reviewed plaintiff’s Request to Seal Documents, filed in conjunction with
17
18
the parties’ pending cross-motions for summary judgment. See ECF Nos. 214, 313. Plaintiff
19
seeks an order of this court directing the sealing of two submitted exhibits: Exhibit A, which
20
contains gang validation information, is subject to the parties’ protective order because
21
determined to be confidential by the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation;
22
Exhibit B is the declaration of plaintiff’s expert concerning the contents of Exhibit A. Both
23
exhibits are already in the possession of defendants’ counsel. Plaintiff’s counsel avers that the
24
exhibits, which are not available to plaintiff, should not be made available to the public in an open
25
filing. Defendants’ counsel has filed a statement of non-opposition to plaintiff’s sealing request.
26
See ECF No. 220.
The court has reviewed the subject exhibits in camera and finds good cause to grant
