ORDER
/

17

This case was dismissed with prejudice and judgment was entered on July 13,

18

2011. (Dkt. Nos. 55-56.) Previously, on June 13, 2011, plaintiff filed documents appearing to

19

contain his private health information (Dkt. No. 54), and the court considered those documents in

20

its order dismissing the case.1 (Dkt. No. 55 at 4-5.) Notwithstanding this court’s Local Rules

21

140 and 141, which address the handling of private information and requests to redact documents

22

or file documents under seal, plaintiff did not request that those documents be filed under seal.

Although Local Rule 140(e) provides that the Court will not, “as a matter of

all documents accompanying plaintiff’s filing on June 13, 2011, in order to ensure the

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that the Clerk of Court seal all

documents accompanying the motion plaintiff filed on June 13, 2011 (Dkt. No. 54), as the

documents appear to contain plaintiff’s personal data identifiers and private health information.
