[PROPOSED] ORDER GRANTING PLAINTIFFS’ REQUEST TO FILE DOCUMENTS UNDER SEAL
PURSUANT TO LOCAL RULE 141

1

On April 26, 2017, Plaintiffs, by and through plaintiff MARY PRASAD as Court-

2 appointed guardian ad litem for plaintiffs T.P., A.P., and N.S. (collectively, the “Minor
3 Plaintiffs”), submitted to the Court by email a Request to File Under Seal (“Request”) a
4 document entitled Declaration of Jackie Lee Brown in Support of Petition of Jackie Lee
5 Brown and Mary Prasad for Substitution of Jackie Lee Brown as Guardian ad Litem for
6 Minors T.P., A.P. and N.S. (“Brown Declaration”).
7

Having reviewed the Brown Declaration and exhibits thereto, and Plaintiffs’ request

8 to file under seal, the Court finds that the documents at issue contain sensitive, private, and
9 personal information, the disclosure of which may prove unduly burdensome and harmful
10 to the Minor Plaintiffs. Further, the public’s interest in accessing this information is
11 minimal, as it is unrelated to the merits of the Minor Plaintiffs’ claims or the underlying
12 causes of action in this case. Therefore, given the balance of equities, good case exists to
13 maintain these documents under seal.
14

Accordingly, Plaintiffs’ Request to File Under Seal the Declaration of Jackie Lee

15 Brown in Support of Petition of Jackie Lee Brown and Mary Prasad for Substitution of
16 Jackie Lee Brown as Guardian ad Litem for Minors T.P., A.P. and N.S. is GRANTED.
