1 2 3 4 5 IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT 6 FOR THE EASTERN DISTRICT OF CALIFORNIA 7 UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, 8 Plaintiff, 2:09-cv-2445 KJM EFB (GGH) 9 v. 10 SIERRA PACIFIC INDUSTRIES, et al., 11 12 Defendants. 13 14 ORDER / On July 11, 2012, the transcript of the further settlement conference proceedings 15 held on July 5, 2012 was filed in the record. (Dkt. No. 582.) Although a settlement of the 16 principal terms was reached on the record at the settlement conference, the settlement is 17 expressly contingent on final approval by the Associate Attorney General. Also, there were 18 details surrounding the principal terms which needed to be finalized. Therefore, the parties were 19 directed to obtain a signed, written settlement agreement by July 11, 2012 [or its disapproval]. 20 (Dkt. No. 577.) However, the United States recently requested a seven-day extension until July 21 18, 2012 to obtain that approval in Washington D.C., and apparently, to finalize the myriad 22 details surrounding the settlement itself. (Dkt. No. 581.) 23 In light of the above, the court finds good cause to seal the transcript of the 24 settlement conference proceedings recording the principal terms of settlement until execution of 25 the final settlement agreement by all parties. 26 Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED THAT the transcript of the settlement 1 1 proceedings in this matter (dkt. no. 582) is SEALED until execution of the final, written 2 settlement agreement by all parties. 3 DATED: July 11, 2012 4 /s/ Gregory G.
