JOSEPH JOHNSON,

No. 2:12-cv-2922 JAM AC P

Plaintiff,

13

E. SANDY, et al.,

ORDER

Defendant.

17

Plaintiff is a state prisoner proceeding pro se with a civil rights action pursuant to 42

18

U.S.C. § 1983. Currently before the court is defendants’ request to file documents under seal.

19

ECF No. 162.

20

By order filed February 9, 2016, defendants Austin, Cobian, Destafano, Hutcheson,

21

Lahey, Lavagnino, Lavergne, Shadday, Swarthout, and Cruzen were required to provide plaintiff

22

an opportunity to review certain sensitive discovery documents and to file those documents under

23

seal within seven days of plaintiff’s review. ECF No. 160. Defendants now seek to file those

24

documents under seal. ECF No. 162. Because the court already ordered the documents filed

25

under seal (ECF No. 160), it was not necessary for defendants to file this motion. Nevertheless,

26

the motion will be granted, and defendants shall submit the discovery documents Bates numbered

27

pages 28-34, 36-42, and 46-51 to the Clerk of the Court for filing under seal in compliance with

28

Local Rule 141(e)(2)(i). Additionally, since the outstanding discovery issues have now been
1

1

resolved, the court will also set a deadline for defendants to re-submit their motions for summary

2

judgment.

3

Accordingly, IT IS HEREBY ORDERED that:

4

1. Defendants’ motion to file under seal (ECF No. 162) is granted and defendants shall

5

submit the discovery documents Bates numbered pages 28-34, 36-42, and 46-51 to the Clerk of

6

the Court for filing under seal in compliance with Local Rule 141(e)(2)(i).

7

2. Defendants shall re-file and re-serve their original motions for summary judgment with

8

an updated certificate of service within seven days of the filing of this order. In accordance with

9

Local Rule 230(l), plaintiff’s response to each motion shall be filed within twenty-one days after

10

service of the motion. Defendants may reply within seven days after the response has been filed

11
